Synchronized editing in vim's buffers

Hi,

   I was trying to figure out how to edit 2 files in parallel, side by side. This post helped:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4120518/how-do-i-synchronously-view-and-scroll-vertically-split-buffers-in-vim

  But I have some sort of paging error, where the lines seem to be off, and I'm not sure what's going on. 

I opened two files in vim, then did ctrl+wv followed by :b2 (to get the second buffer)

   I did :set scrollbind in one file, then :set scrollbind in the other one. It looked like that didn't do much, so I tried

:syncbind  and it looked like as a I paged down in one the other file also was "in synch". Well, almost, because

when I was at line 45 in one, I was at line 1 in the other. So as I started paging up and down, one buffer was

always about a page off from the one.

   Clearly there's something I'm not understanding about synching both buffers. How do I use scrollbind and syncbind?

All I want is that if I go to line 100 in one buffer, I'm at line 100 in the other one. Or, what would be nice

is some sort of "toggle", so I could turn the synching on and off.

Is this possible in vim?

Thanks,

Ven
