But it keeps the point/cursor stationary on the screen when scrolling with keyboard keys Page and Arrow Up/Down. That's what I want. But when scrolling with the mouse, either with its wheel or by dragging the right-hand side slider bar, the cursor reverts to default behavior, following the text and jumping back to center when scrolling past the page top/bottom. I've failed to google how to stop that. What can I put in .emacs so that the point/cursor remains stationary on the screen, rather than following the text, when scrolling with the mouse?
