Vim: Scrolling without moving the cursor.

Hi:

Suppose the cursor is in line 20. I want now to scroll one line at a time but I want the cursor to remain at line 20. How is this done? Thanks.

I'm pretty sure you can't do that with the standard VIM commands. It may be possible if you write your own script into your .vimrc file.

Ctrl+e and Ctrl+y though it doesn't work if you're going off the edge of the screen...

Thanks a lot, Snark. If an editor had not that feature, it would surprising indeed.
