How do I get a Left handed scroll bar?

Are there any left handed people who have figured out how to move the scroll bar in WM5 to the left when in portrait mode? There's got to be some way of doing this... While we are on the subject of bars, is there any way of getting rid of either the top or bottom bar and combining everything on both into the one remaining. IMHO two bars is a waste of screen real estate. Some way of making the top and bottom bars smaller would be a good way to maximize screen space.

Completely agree. Being left handed means that your hand obscures the screen when you scroll. Grateful for directions to any software that would help

I have taught myself to "tap" and "drag" using my mouth, and Axim in free hand, for when I only have one free hand.

I'm sure your can manage switching hands for scrolling.

I am afraid that this can't be done. There have been several other posts on this for other Operating Ssytems and nobody can find a way to do it.

One or two applications have a left handed mode - Pocket Breeze is one (I wonder if Amit Regev is left handed?) but in general the scroll bar will always be on the right - just like desk/lap top programs where, of course, it doesn't matter.
