Setting the boundaries for permanent view

I am trying to modify the view selections for a spreadsheet so that as I pan 
across the sheet more columns of labels remain visible permanently along the 
left margin, to reference the rows. Currently, I only have the first column 
of the sheet which remains visible. It would be much more helpful if I could 
have the first 4 columns visible.

I would also like to know how to move the threshold down at the top of the 
sheet so that more rows remain visible as I browse down through the sheet. I 
now have 3 showing. I likely set up the sheet from an old template and have 
forgotten how to make this modification. Could be terminology, but I can 
neither find anything relevant in the Help Index, nor any of the drop-down 
menus.

Thanks for any suggestions and help. 

John,

Click in the top left cell which is _not_ to be locked -- eg cell E4 in 
your example.  Then do View, Locked Titles.
