  "Buffer-local minor mode for pager-like scrolling.

When enabled, keys that normally move point by line or paragraph
will scroll the buffer by the respective amount of lines instead
and point will be kept vertically fixed relative to window
boundaries during scrolling.

Note that the default key binding to Scroll_Lock will not work on
MS-Windows systems if `w32-scroll-lock-modifier' is non-nil."
