I use vi a great deal, and often use it with several files in
sequence in the command line (so I can :n along the series):
	$vi file1 file2 file3 ...

My question: most of the time when I execute :n to go to the next
file, the next file comes up on the screen at its beginning (which
makes sense!). But sometimes, it comes up in the middle somewhere ...

Does anyone know why this happens (so that presumably I could use the
feature on purpose)?

Thanks.
