Subject: Keeping the point at the same position in multiple buffers

Hi everybody,

When editing several files in Emacs, each in its own buffer, each buffer has its own point location. I have Emacs displaying two buffers, each in it's own window. I was wondering if there's an easy way to make it so that each of these buffers will keep the point at the same place in both buffers (or at least on the same line) even though this is not the default behavior.

So, for example, when I press C-n in the current buffer, the other buffer will also move it's point to the next line.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Corey Foote
