I'm not sure if you are using the "page down" method of animation, but
if so, you have to fool around with the size of the window of the text
document in order for the animation to slow down. I found that method so
annoying that I am using javascript now exclusively (which is no doubt
annoying for other people). However, there is a template for the
javascript animation at:

Of course, if you don't have Netscape 3.0 or MSIE 4.0 that has
javascript enabled, it will be entirely useless to you and I apologize
in advance.
