don't show the $-bar that indicates text before and/or after the window view, horizontally

[Emanuel Berg]

Sometimes, the text I want to read in Emacs-w3m has a width (in
chars) that would suggest that I could have it all visible at
once. But, the horizontal scrolling is so heavy-handed, that it
still isn't possible! So I setup scrolling char by char, left and
right (code last). I seems to work, but there is still the
annoying bar of dollar signs ($). (Check out the screenshot, yet
after the code.) How can I disable the $-bar? "Disable" could be
as in disable, or as in just showing whitespaces instead.

(put 'scroll-left  'disabled nil)
(put 'scroll-right 'disabled nil)

(defun scroll-left-1  () (interactive) (scroll-left  1))
(defun scroll-right-1 () (interactive) (scroll-right 1))

(let ((map (current-global-map)))
 (define-key map (kbd "C-o i") 'scroll-right-1)
 (define-key map (kbd "C-o o") 'scroll-left-1) )
