Window Commands
Window CommandsMicroEmacs uses windows to display and allow you to edit the contents of buffers. Multiple windows may be present on the screen at once, each is separated by a mode line which describes the contents of the window above it.
You can scroll text vertically and horizontally within a window by using the cursor commands. Note that if a line of text extends beyond the boundary of a window, a dollar "$" sign is displayed instead of the first/last visible character.
