I have a few rather basic questions about GNU Emacs, and I hope some
of the knowledgeable people who seem to frequent this group can help
me out:

1.  Whenever point attempts to move out of the window area, an
implicit "recenter" is performed.  In other words, I can't scroll
line-by-line.  Is there some way to achieve this?

2.  An argument to "scroll-up" or "scroll-down" does not move the text
by that many screenfuls, but rather moves it by lines.  How can one get
the former behavior?

3.  Does some site maintain comp.emacs archives?

4.  I tried to bind a key to a function in mail mode.  I thought of
using mail-mode-hook, but the keymap is generated *after* the hook is
run.  Thus, the only way seems to be to have a personal mail-mode(),
and define the key at its end.  Am I correct?

5.  Is there a method to convert an entire Babyl file to Unix format?

Thanks for any replies..
