I don't have the C source code at hand and my C-fu is probably too weak anyways, so is there any built-in command which does the equivalent of scroll-(down|up) but tries to keep point at the same column or should I craft one myself? And what is the rationale behind having point move to the first column when scrolling? Thanks, Deniz Dogan
