How Do I Create a Scrolling Text Window in Unity 4.6?

This video was great! Thanks! :)

the scrollbar will then allow you to scroll up and down the text.

As for the resize you need to look at the Anchors, also shown in the images. [1]: /storage/temp/37367-textpanel.png

Thanks to the writers above for dealing with my snippily-worded question. (Tough to learn a new feature while sick and rusty on coding.)

It looks like part of my problem was that the Panel's component "Canvas Scaler" had its "UI Scale Mode" set to "Constant Pixel Size", which baffled me because I kept trying to convey "I want this box to be small" and having it fill half the screen in Game Mode. Changed that setting to "Scale With Screen Size" and that helped. It might not be the best choice in your program, though.

To recap for others' reference: Make a Panel. Resize to taste. Under it (ie. as a child object), make a Text object. (Optionally, put an Image under the Panel instead and the Text under that.) Give the Panel/Image a Scroll Rect component, and set its Content to be the Text. The Text will need to be made larger than the parent object. It should work now as a click-and-drag block of scrolling text, but be visible outside the parent object. That's bad, so give the parent a new Mask component. (Apparently you can also add an Image to get fine control over the mask shape.) You'll probably want to disable horizontal scrolling, on the Scroll Rect script.

The scrollbar part: Make a UI\Scrollbar object. Set to BottomToTop mode. Make it a sibling of the Panel/Image, then set that second object's "Horizontal Scrollbar" slot to the new object. You'll likely want to set the rect transform's anchor (using that square bullseye thing in the Inspector) to lock it to a particular side of the parent.

thanks, after mínimum changes I can use it on my game!
