There are about half a dozen ways to do that in Emacs ;-)

If you only need to record one or two lines and jump between them,
type "C-SPACE" (that is, hold the Ctrl key and press the Space bar).
This puts a "mark" on the spot where your cursor was.  If you then
move the cursor anywhere inside that buffer, you can jump back by
typing "C-x C-x" (that is, Ctrl-x twice).

If you want to mark places in several buffers, I suggest to use
bookmarks.  Please read about bookmarks in the on-line manual, by
typing "C-h i m emacs RET g Bookmarks RET".

Btw, it is best to ask questions about Emacs on gnu.emacs.help news
group, unless you are sure they are specific to the DJGPP port.
