The scroll action will spread across the line, and down a multi-line wall (just set a new, different channel on the first row you want to exclude), and will continue until "stop_scroll" or any displayable message is received. As it advances through the message, the scroll code will search through the message for a printable character, on each scroll step, basically stripping-out color code, and using just the last one before the new start position. This is done in order to keep a constant visible speed (the text will still be colored properly though).
