Perhaps this should be put in Nick> TODO. Also, Eclipse allows fringe elements which do not scroll with the window contents. This turns out to be pretty handy. For instance you could show the user the visible area of the current buffer (relative to the size of the whole buffer) as a different background color. In Eclipse you can see little blocks in the right-hand fringe which represent errors, problems, etc, and you can click them to jump to the corresponding point. I don't think there is a way to do this in Emacs yet, either. Tom
