Scrolling Forward and Backward 

Two very useful commands for browsing a file are Scroll Forward and
Scroll Backward.  The text will move up or down 20 lines each time you
perform one of these commands.  You may change the scrollsize if you
wish, but by default the scrollsize is set to 20.  Practice these two
commands as often as you wish, observing the change in the text displayed
on the screen.
[REV BEG]

     Press F2,  Scroll Forward  

     Press F1,  Scroll Backward[REV END]

Since these are such frequently used commands, many users choose to
remember the keys assigned to these commands so that they can perform the
command without entering the Position Commands function key set.  To
perform Scroll Forward, press s.  To perform Scroll Backward, press S.


NOTE Do not attempt to use Next Page (or Pg Dn) and Prev Page (or Pg Up) keys to browse your file. HP EDIT does not recognize these keys.
