This person needs help in a couple of ways. The first is that stated in
the Subject line and noted below. The second is that he can no longer
post to this list. (I don't know if he can receive or not, so please cc
him.)
Thanks,

width?
Ken
Thanks for the help.
By trial and error I found the item in my .emacs that
messes up (setq scroll-step 1) in .emacs. I have
an item on my modeline that needs to updated often
so I added a "force-mode-line-update" (See below.).
When I don't include this line all if fine with scrolling.
Is there a way to get *both* working??
Chris
(setq default-mode-line-format
(list ""
'mode-line-buffer-identification
" "
(system-name)
" "
"Line %l Column "
'(:eval (format "%d" (1+ (current-column))))))
(add-hook 'post-command-hook (lambda () (force-mode-line-update)))
