When I scroll through some text in emacs the cursor follows. How do I make
the cursor stay where I put it??

Create a new buffer, change to that, and do scroll-other-wondow.

When in doubt, use brute force.

Is that the only way? Seems rather cumbersome.

What about C-SPC (C-v M-v as much as you want) and C-x C-x?

I don't know any other ... and I have made it easy since I usually
always have a *Calendar* buffer open!
Did you already google for 'Emacs scroll point' or such?

When I do C-SPC and scroll all the text gets selected. Thats is because I
like to use C-SPC and the arrows to select a region that I afterward can
delete by pressing del.

I see, you use transient-mark-mode. At least in CVS emacs you
can enable transient-mark-mode temporally (by hitting C-SPC
twice). So i don't see any reason why to have it enabled.
Anyway, probably registers will help you (eg. C-x r SPC 1 RET,
scroll around and C-x r j 1 RET, more in the emacs manual).
