When I do M-x compile, if the output is more than a screen long, I would
like it to scroll down so I can see the last page of output.  Currently, it
shows only the first page.  Is there a way for me to fix this?

Thanks,
Nathaniel Flath

`M-x apropos RET compil SPC scroll RET' yields:

compilation-scroll-output
   Variable: *Non-nil to scroll the *compilation* buffer window as output appears.
   Plist: standard-value variable-documentation custom-type custom-version 
custom-requests

Clicking on the symbol or variable link displays:

compilation-scroll-output is a variable defined in `compile.el'.
Its value is nil


Documentation:
*Non-nil to scroll the *compilation* buffer window as output appears.

Setting it causes the Compilation mode commands to put point at the
end of their output window so that the end of the output is always
visible rather than the beginning.

You can customize this variable.

You could also just put the point or text cursor at the *compilation*  
buffer's end and all output will scroll through.
