The command \\[set-goal-column] can be used to create
a semipermanent goal column to which this command always moves.
Then it does not try to move vertically.

If you are thinking of using this in a Lisp program, consider using
`forward-line' with negative argument instead..  It is usually easier
to use and more reliable (no dependence on goal column, etc.)."
