 OK, I have been  using emacs for 2 years,  but can not  figure out how  to
 move several screens at a time.

 I thought that  giving  M-n argument to  a   command would make it  do  it
 several times.  So you want to move 10  lines down, you  hit M-10 C-n. The
 comand to move down  one screen is C-v. So  to move down 10 screens (about
 400  lines) would be M-10 C-v.   However, when I try  that it only moves n
 lines! what is going on and why is this happening?! What is the equivalent
 of vi's 10 C-f command? 

 Thanks a lot

 Ilya
