Thanks!  I figured someone probably had an easy fix for this.  I tried it 
out a bit.  Not as nice as vim, but it's OK.  Not sure why it shows the 
little marks on the last line of the file when you can type on that line, 
but it's OK.

I noticed though that I have to have this customize group thing instead of 
more straightforwardly using lisp to set this in my init file code... 
(fringe-mode) can be put in my init file, but the only argument is the size 
of the fringe and no args for fact that I want to show empty lines.

But anyway, customize works, though I avoid that customize stuff, just 
coming back to emacs now - it irks me and seems opposed to the idea of all 
the lisp integration...

But thanks very much, it works.
