Did you ever figure this out? I've been searching around for something like this and you questions are the closest to my own.

Just posting this incase someone needs to know how to do this.

Place the GuiMLTextCtrl inside a GuiScrollCtrl.


new GuiScrollCtrl() {
         willFirstRespond = "1";
         hScrollBar = "alwaysOff";
         vScrollBar = "dynamic";
         lockHorizScroll = "0";
         lockVertScroll = "0";
         constantThumbHeight = "0";
         childMargin = "0 0";
         mouseWheelScrollSpeed = "0";
         margin = "0 0 0 0";
         padding = "0 0 0 0";
         anchorTop = "1";
         anchorBottom = "0";
         anchorLeft = "1";
         anchorRight = "0";
         position = "152 616";
         extent = "736 108";
         minExtent = "8 2";
         horizSizing = "width";
         vertSizing = "height";
         profile = "GuiScrollProfile";
         visible = "1";
         active = "1";
         tooltipProfile = "GuiToolTipProfile";
         hovertime = "1000";
         isContainer = "1";
         canSave = "1";
         canSaveDynamicFields = "0";

         new GuiMLTextCtrl() {
            lineSpacing = "2";
            allowColorChars = "0";
            maxChars = "-1";
            useURLMouseCursor = "1";
            position = "1 1";
            extent = "559 14";
            minExtent = "8 8";
            horizSizing = "right";
            vertSizing = "bottom";
            profile = "GuiMLTextProfile";
            visible = "1";
            active = "1";
            tooltipProfile = "GuiToolTipProfile";
            hovertime = "1000";
            isContainer = "0";
            canSave = "1";
            canSaveDynamicFields = "0";
			parsetags = "1";
         };
      };


To change the background you need to modify the the profile.

profile = "GuiScrollProfile";


singleton GuiControlProfile (GuiScrollProfile)
{
opaque = false;
border = false;
borderColor = "0 255 0";
fillColor = "0 0 0 0";
};
