Large amount of text

I'd like to include an End User License Agreement at the first startup of my
app. I envision a rather large text box of some sort plus a couple of
command buttons. What should I use as the text box? I'm not sure if an
Unbound Object Form is appropriate. There's more text than the size of the
form, so the ability to scroll down is needed. Thanks.

I'd store the license agreement in a Memo field in a table - perhaps a
single-record utility table also storing fields such as the path to the
database backend, the name and address of the licensee, whatever other
administrative information you would like. Make the startup form read-only if
that's appropriate, and simply bind the memo field to a textbox on the form.
