For example, to scroll back up a screen, hit Esc, then "v". BTW I reccomend running emacs locally (x window version), and using ange-ftp to open your files. To use it, hit C-x C-f to open a file as usual, and then type: /username@remote.machine:/path/file.you.want. It will ask you for a password (once), and then when you save, revert, etc. it's all done transparently by ftp. It's also quick and responsive because it's running locally. Hope that helps!
