I would suggest changing the code instead. In order to fake the position of the cursor at an arbitrary position within a window you have to change the display code. This would also allow to represent rectangle coloring in a more ingenious way. So I obviously favor such a change. > Changing the code will necessarily involve touching the scroll > functions, because currently they move point to fit in the window. The `point' (and region) handling part is a different issue. I'd strongly suggest to separate this from the display part. martin
