It allows to keep the cursor in its position in a buffer when scrolling. When it is not set, the cursor position is moved when scrolling so as to make it always visible. In emacs 21 (and alas in 22) this variable has no effect, at least when emacs in running in Windows XP and also in Vista. Thank you Angelo Borsotti
