Haven't played with rich edit controls lately but you can get the 
current scroll position by sending an EM_GETSCROLLPOS message
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/winui/richedit_8aib.htm)
You might use EM_SETSCROLLPOS to scroll to the bottom (after you figure 
out where the bottom is).

I'd just go to the URL above and click on "show toc" to look through the 
different messages and mess around until I figured it out.

Sorry I don't have all of your answers but you've got a resource in case 
nobody else knows off hand...
