I've been looking and experimenting, can't find what I'm looking for.

Is there a way to get an evas textblock to display the last lines of
the text if it is longer than the textblocks object height?  Or even to
get it to shov the text at the bottom if it's shorter than the object
height?

I'm showing lines of text progressively as they are generated by the
processing, and I pretty much want them to start at the bottom and
scroll up from there, scrolling off the top as more lines push up from
below.  An acceptable alternative is to start at the top and go down,
so long as they still get pushed up from below and scroll off the top.

I poked at valign, it made no difference, though I suspect that's just
the alignment within any given line, not of the text as a whole.

I could keep track of the lines myself, and their line heights, then
not put the scrolled off lines into the textblock, or pad with empty
lines for the first few, but you would think textblock would be able to
do that sort of calculation itself.  Gets nasty when there's font size
changes and such, textblock should know how to deal with that itself.

Unless I'm mistaken, cursors are for changing the text, not showing it.

For later work, I'd want to be able to scroll around lines within a
textblock to.
