Subject: view.el: why does View-scroll-lines-forward exit?
Message-ID: <32958@rimulac.mips.COM>

emacs 18.55:

View-scroll-lines-forward in view.el prints a message suggesting
typing the 'exit-recursive-edit' key when you reach the end; however,
it has code to exit-recursive-edit the next time
View-scroll-lines-forward is called, as with the next space or
control-v.

Is this a bug, and if not, can it be made configurable (e.g.,
view-mode-exit-at-end)?

Another related request: should manual-entry (man.el) (1) leave the
buffer writable, (2) use only one buffer name, preventing multiple man
page buffers, and (3) not select the man page buffer?  I have a hacked
manual-entry that runs view-mode on the uniquely named man page
buffer.  (manual-entry-hook, anyone?)
