I'm being compelled, against my better judgement, and by a very
unreasonable management-type person wearing a suit and tie, to use the
emacs editor as an interface to the gdb debugger and in order to read
the info files for gdb.

The problem that's threatening my sanity more than anything else is
this: is there any easy way (by `easy' I mean with one keystroke or
button press, or less) to scroll the current window up or down one
line at a time?

If not, how can any human being be reasonably expected to use it?

Another question: is there any equivalent to vi's `.' (repeat last)
command?

I am, by the way, as some observant people may have noticed, one of
the authors of the xvi editor, which is a free multi-window version of
vi, & I'm not enjoying my current assignment at all.

Please replay by mail or post followups to comp.editors. I don't want
to read any more about emacs than I absolutely have to.


With kindest regards & sincere gratitude for any useful replies,
