The second screen says (at the top): "Note that there is an overlap of two lines when you move from screen to screen; this provides some continuity so you can continue reading the text." However, I get an overlap of three lines. I am using GNU Emacs 24.1.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1) under X. Is this a configuration option which differs with each new build? Or is this part of the tutorial from the old days, when the overlap was actually two lines? Regards, Valera
