Post Scriptum: I think that in the electronic version of the manual, there should be something like Use M-x customize-variable RET scroll-step RET in order to set scroll-step to 1 and the line with the customize-variable should be _clickable_ and start customization. gnus provides such buttons when it encounters such a line in a Usenet posting or Email; it is a pity that our own internal documentation does not work in that manner: it would certainly make the manual more compelling. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
