- : : 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

- : 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.
