My wife asked me what the 'Scroll Lock' key was for, and I realized I didn't know either. Nobody I've asked around here seems to know what it's for either...could someone explain it's purpose?

Vertical: Makes the screen image go up and down.

Horizontal: Makes the screen image go side to side.

Depends on the program(mer) these days. It has an historical context as well.

Open an Excel file and place your cursor on a cell. Use your arrow keys to go left right. Try it again with Scroll Lock on.
