I've been using this function for many years. It cycles the current
cursor and text position from the middle to the top then to the bottom
of the screen and back.
Just hit C-l repeatedly to change position.
I think this is what you're looking for...

Hi,
I've been using this function for many years. It cycles the current
cursor and text position from the middle to the top then to the bottom
of the screen and back.
Just hit C-l repeatedly to change position.
See `recenter-top-bottom' that just does the same thing.
Xavier

Would it be possible to quote the information you are replying to? It
simplifies following the thread. See ">" above which is the gnus standard.
