;;; DESCRIPTION
;; Automatically scroll horizontally when the point moves off the
;; left or right edge of the window. Type "M-x hscroll-mode" to
;; invoke it in the current buffer. This only has effect when
;; the current line is truncated by Emacs. Say "Control-h f
;; hscroll-truncate-lines" for details.
;;
;; HScroll's sensitivity is controlled by the variable hscroll-margin.
;; How much HScroll adjusts the window is determined by hscroll-step.
;;
;; Most users won't have to mess with the other variables and functions
;; defined here. But they're all documented, and they all start with
;; "hscroll-" if you're curious.
;;
;; Oh, you should also know that if you set the hscroll-margin and
;; hscroll-step large enough, you can get an interesting, but
;; undesired ping-pong effect as the point bounces from one edge to
;; the other.
