: : 	Quick question to anyone that can answer: is there any way other 
: : than using the mouse and scroll bar to move down a document (or up) by 
: : one screen?  I notice arrow-type functions allowing for next line, end of
: : line, end of doc, but no 'next screen'.
: : -------------------------------------------------------------------------
: 
: Do you have the manual?
: 
: If so you might know how to turn on the page click buttons which will 
: sort of do this but you must use the mouse.
: 
..............................................................................

: Wrong answer. Or, right answer to the wrong question. He wants to move a 
: screen, not a page.

: There are vertical scrolling tools on the right-hand side of the screen. 
: Two of those tools are arrows - for slow, line-by-line scrolling. The 
: other is a column containing a button. Grab the button and you can drag 
: it quickly and, sometimes, accurately. Click on the part of the column 
: -not- occupied by the drag-button and the view will jump one (if your 
: click is clean) screen in the direction indicated. James: thanks for 
: piquing my curiousity.

Or you might write a small Arexx script to move the cursor down the correct
number of lines based on your screen size and attach it to a key 
combination.  It would be nice though, to have access to all the keys, 
not just function and modifiers.
