+@cindex unused lines
+@cindex fringes, and unused line indication
+  Emacs can indicate unused lines at the end of the window with a
+small image in the left fringe (@pxref{Fringes}).  The image appears
+for window lines that do not correspond to any buffer text.  Blank
+lines at the end of the buffer then stand out because they do not have
+this image in the fringe.
