Currently, > it shows only the first page. Is there a way for me to fix this? `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. [back] -- Kevin Rodgers Denver, Colorado, USA
