   NEAT TRICK TIME:

       If you're in Emacs and do a 'M-x compile', 'C-x o' (to jump into the
   compile buffer right away) and then arrow down about two lines below the
   last line of text, your cursor will stay two lines below any output from
   make/gcc/whatever and you can see it all happening as the screen scrolls
   up.  I don't know if anyone else knows about this or not, but I thought
   it was a neat trick.  (I haven't tried to see if you can switch back to
   the other window, yet.  I'll do that after I get out of DOS/Waffle and
   back to a REAL O/S.)  :-)

I do something like this all the time -- as soon as I start up a longish
M-x compile, I switch to that window and M->.

Unfortunately, if you switch back to another window, EMACS stops sliding
the compilation window down.  I thin it stops moving the cursor as well.
