Please tell me how to solve the following problem with emacs:

If I am using emacs on a 500 line file, and line 250 is in the
center of the screen, and the curser is on line 250, and I press
Page Up and then Page Down, I see that line 250 is again at the
center of the screen, but the curser is now near the top of the
screen.

What I want, is that after pressing Page Up n times followed by
pressing Page Down n times, the screen and curser be in
exactly the same position as before.  (I am willing to live
with this NOT being the case if I press Page Up (or Page Down) so
many times that I "go off the end of the file".)

Does anyone know how I can get this to work the way I want?

Thanks.

Dennis Yelle
