RE: How do you scroll the screen without moving the cursor ? (theC-E and C-Y keys in vi)

["Parker, Matthew" <MParker@seic.com>]

This might not be the most elegant... but it works... and I think it is what you have in mind...

Add these to .emacs, and try Control-Alt-n or p

  ;; Navigation Functions
      (defun scroll-up-by-one-line()
        "scroll ahead one line at a time"
        (interactive)
        (scroll-up 1))

      
      (defun scroll-down-by-one-line()
        "scroll ahead one line at a time"
        (interactive)
        (scroll-down 1))

  ;; key bindings

      (global-set-key "\C-\M-n" 'scroll-up-by-one-line)
      (global-set-key "\C-\M-p" 'scroll-down-by-one-line)

You can also use M-v to scroll up.
And C-M-v to scroll down the next buffer
