A scrollable messagebox that isn't editable?

I find myself really wanting something that acts as a cross between utils.msgbox and utils.editbox. That is, I need to be able to display really long text without running off the screen, so it has to scroll, but I don't want the user to be editing the text.

I suppose that I can already do this using the scrolling miniwindow text stuff that the channel capture window uses, but that's rather complex for this purpose.
