I.e. with the following window layout (both A and B has, say, 50 lines): +-----------+-----------+ | A | B | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +-----------+-----------+ 1000-lines text is initially 1..50 lines in A and 51..100 lines in B, with current window A. When the cursor is at line 50 of A and moved to next line, it goes to window B, line 1 (of window B and so line 51 of the text); when the cursor is at line 50 of window B and moved to next line, it goes back to line 1 of window A, and text is scrolled in both windows so A shows lines 101..150 and B shows lines 151..200, etc. Dmitry
