oracle forms 10g multiple records data block showing records on demand

Question

I want to create a sale order form. For which the form should allow insertion of line items. I dont want to restrict the number of line items. I decided to display 4 empty records in which user is allowed to type line items. If he wants to type the 5th line item then i have to make the 5th empty row visible to the user. using a scroll bar he should be able to see the first record also.

How to do this in oracle forms 10g.

Any help will be appreciated.
