Attached you can find the current version of scroll-lock.el which will keep point horizontally fixed (as far as possible) for line- and paragraph-based scrolling. This could be extended to page-based scrolling (`C-v', `M-v') and be made configurable if necessary. Compared to the last version I removed the key binding for toggling the mode, made the mode buffer-local, and made it possible for point to move upwards when `C-p' and similar is typed at the top of the buffer and to move downward when `C-n' is typed at the bottom of the buffer. Apart for the points mentioned above the file is ready for inclusion into Emacs if people like to have it. -- Ralf
