@kindex C-Mouse-2 @r{(scroll bar)}
You can split a window horizontally or vertically by clicking
-@kbd{C-Mouse-2} in the mode line or the scroll bar. The line of
-splitting goes through the place where you click: if you click on the
-mode line, the new scroll bar goes above the spot; if you click in the
-scroll bar, the mode line of the split window is side by side with your
+@kbd{C-Mouse-2} in the mode line or the scroll bar. (This does not
+work in scroll bars implemented by X toolkits.) The line of splitting
+goes through the place where you click: if you click on the mode line,
+the new scroll bar goes above the spot; if you click in the scroll
+bar, the mode line of the split window is side by side with your
click.

inevitable. If this variable is @code{nil}, then @kbd{C-x 2} tries to

-position already visible in the window. It also selects whichever

right of the currently selected one, and similarly for the ``left,'' ``up,''

these commands to @kbd{S-right} etc. (Not all terminals support shifted

Follow minor mode (@kbd{M-x follow-mode}) synchronizes several
windows on the same buffer so that they always display adjacent
-sections of that buffer. Also if point moves outside a window, it
-moves automatically to another window which shows that part of the
-buffer, if any. Thus, the windows act like one large window on
-the buffer.

- One use of this feature is to effectively double the number of lines
-in a given screen height, using side-by-side windows on the same
-buffer. First split a window into side-by-side windows with @kbd{C-x
-3}, then use @kbd{M-x follow-mode} to synchronize the windows.
