I thought you meant the OP should just read the whole file into the
buffer, which is a bad idea for large files. Sorry.

I know about that. I'd like to be able to open a 1 GB file in Emacs and
view just a piece at a time, in a sliding window. I am not aware of
functionality to do this, and it's hard to do it efficiently because
every save is so painful, not to mention selecting the whole buffer and
other normally simple operations. Read-only may be somewhat OK but lots
of basic commands will need to be advised or overridden.
