I submitted the matter to gnu.emacs.help but got no solution, and the problem is somehow related to Emacs development. The scroll-preserve-screen-position variable does not work when I'm in TeX mode with chapters, subchapters and so on, which are displayed with bigger characters. Also, it fails in info pages. When using scroll-in-place.el or pager.el (http://user.it.uu.se/~mic/pager.el), point stays in place, but then it's the `next-screen-context-lines' variable that fails. It seems that it's not possible to make the two things work both. What I wish is that several `C-v' followed by the same numbers of `M-v' would put point back in the same initial text place, but without loosing the `next-screen-context-lines' mechanism. Is it possible to achieve this? Thanks for your attention and for any reply. Rodolfo
