The only snag I encountered is in the position of the cursor. I want to be able to to scroll the buffer with mouse wheel or on the scroll bars and have the cursor remain on the original line, even if the cursor moves off-screen. Then when I start typing, emacs does C-l to center back on the cursor, if the cursor is off-screen. Is it possible to customize Emacs in this way? How can I set "mouse scroll" not to affect the position of the cursor? Thanks, Adam
