real handy....

(global-set-key [C-M-left]  '(lambda () (interactive) (scroll-right 10)))
(global-set-key [C-M-right] '(lambda () (interactive) (scroll-left  10)))

Thanks for the suggestions everybody.  I like Jari's bindings the
best, although the C-M arrow keys are already mapped by the window
manager.  Drop the Meta and they're almost as convenient as a
scrollbar.  :-)

I didn't intend this to be a frivolous question.  I only count 47
available characters with standard thread indentation and the standard
*Summary* format available for a first level subject.
