scrolling problem

scrolling problem

[CloudStrife]

When i scroll in emacs 21.2.1 it scrolls such that the line at the
bottom is present in the middle, in the next screen. I donot know what
options to change.
this happens when i use Ctrl-n or arrow keys.
the same is the prob wid scroll up.
Is there a soln to this?

CloudStrife,

This behaviour is called "jump scroll". It can be disabled by
inserting into your .emacs file
(setq scroll-step 1)

However, on XEmacs, I still get jump-scrolling sometimes,
normally after scrolling a large number of single lines.

HTH,

(setq scroll-conservatively 1000)

Thanks a lot Colin. It worked. I had been bugged by this from a long
time and was contemplating switching to someother editor.
Thankyou

Hi Johan,
How is your solution different from that given by Collin?
Does it do the same thing? can you explain your command?
