I have a dim recollection from a time long ago (6 or more years,
probably in emacs 18) of using emacs to do what the OP described.
Unfortunately I do not remember exactly how I did it.  If my
memory serves correctly it involved selecting a line and then
doing something simple that told emacs not to scroll the line off
the page.  It seems to me that it was something like setting a
margin variable.  I did some searching in info and did an apropos
on variables but could not find anything.  Perhaps some one on
the list can recall if there ever was such a capability.
