This was a change from version 19 to version 20 of GNU Emacs... I have
no idea why the scroll bar was put on the left by default, but it can
easily be changed. Just put this in your ~/.emacs file:
(custom-set-variables
'(scroll-bar-mode (quote right)))
Chances are you already have some custom-set-variables in your ~/.emacs
file, so you would only add '(scroll-bar-mode (quote right)) somewhere
in that list of things. Just make sure all ( are matched with ) where
they should be. If the idea of hacking your .emacs file manually seems
a bit intimidating, this can be done through the customise menus within
emacs.
