Then I would say "near the end" instead of "at the end".  The two
situations then become one, covered by this algorithm:

  when the remembered cursor position is less than half the number of
  edit-window lines away from the tail of the file, start displaying
  the file at 'tail minus editwindowlines' (or at zero when that sum
  arrives at less than zero).
