This behavior is activated by setting the buffer-local variable
`indicate-buffer-boundaries' to a non-nil value.  The default value of
this variable is found in `default-indicate-buffer-boundaries'.

If value is `left' or `right', both angle and arrow bitmaps are
displayed in the left or right fringe, resp.  Any other non-nil value
causes the bitmap on the top line to be displayed in the left fringe,
and the bitmap on the bottom line in the right fringe.

If value is a cons (ANGLES . ARROWS), the car specifies the position
of the angle bitmaps, and the cdr specifies the position of the arrow
bitmaps.

For example, (t .  right) places the top angle bitmap in left fringe,
the bottom angle bitmap in right fringe, and both arrow bitmaps in
right fringe.  To show just the angle bitmaps in the left fringe, but
no arrow bitmaps, use (left . nil).

** New command `display-local-help' displays any local help at point
in the echo area.  It is bound to `C-h .'.  It normally displays the
same string that would be displayed on mouse-over using the
`help-echo' property, but, in certain cases, it can display a more

use of the capabilities of the display.

** Customizable fringe bitmaps

*** New function 'define-fringe-bitmap' can now be used to change the
built-in fringe bitmaps, as well as create new fringe bitmaps.
The return value is a number identifying the new fringe bitmap.

To change a built-in bitmap, do (require 'fringe) and identify the
bitmap to change with the value of the corresponding symbol, like
`left-truncation-fringe-bitmap' or `continued-line-fringe-bitmap'.

*** New function 'destroy-fringe-bitmap' may be used to destroy a
previously created bitmap, or restore a built-in bitmap.

*** New function 'set-fringe-bitmap-face' can now be used to set a

*** There are new display properties, left-fringe and right-fringe,

bitmap of the display line.

Format is 'display '(left-fringe BITMAP [FACE]), where BITMAP is a
number identifying a fringe bitmap, either built-in or as returned by
`define-fringe-bitmap', and FACE is an optional face name to be used

This behavior is activated by setting the buffer-local variable
`indicate-buffer-boundaries' to a non-nil value.  The default value of
this variable is found in `default-indicate-buffer-boundaries'.

If value is `left' or `right', both angle and arrow bitmaps are
displayed in the left or right fringe, resp.

Value may also be an alist which specifies the presense and position
of each bitmap individually.

For example, ((top . left) (t .  right)) places the top angle bitmap
in left fringe, the bottom angle bitmap in right fringe, and both
arrow bitmaps in right fringe.  To show just the angle bitmaps in the
left fringe, but no arrow bitmaps, use ((top . left) (bottom . left)).
