Well, THANK YOU FOR THAT! I never would have known it but for your two lines there! No? But isn't it clearly documented? Well, sort of. Here's part of a C-h b and a couple of C-h k's: | scroll-other-window-down | scroll-other-window | scroll-left | scroll-right | scroll-up | scroll-down | | | runs the command scroll-down | (scroll-down &optional ARG) | which is an interactive built-in function. | | Scroll text of current window down ARG lines; or near full screen if no ARG. | A near full screen is `next-screen-context-lines' less than a full screen. | Negative ARG means scroll upward. | If ARG is the atom `-', scroll upward by nearly full screen. | When calling from a program, supply as argument a number, nil, or `-'. | | | | | runs the command scroll-right | (scroll-right &optional ARG) | which is an interactive built-in function. | | Scroll selected window display ARG columns right. | Default for ARG is window width minus 2. | Value is the total amount of leftward horizontal scrolling in | effect after the change. | If `automatic-hscrolling' is non-nil, the argument ARG modifies | a lower bound for automatic scrolling, i.e. automatic scrolling | will not scroll a window to a column less than the value returned | by this function. ""? "?". Why the (shows my age, no?) didn't "they" (rms?) call them pageDown and pageUp? Yeah, maybe those two words, prior and next, are defined somewhere in the gnu-emacs manual, but c'm on, give me a break! Anyway, again, thanks for those two lines! ------- STRANGE this M-prior -- C-h b reports (see above) it bound to scrolling the other window down -- BUT! -- C-h k on it says "unbound"???? David
