I thinks that's because the X11 server sends Emacs the keysyms named Next and
Prior when the PageUp And PageDown keys are pressed.

I guess you could translate [next] and [prior] to [pageup] and [pagedown] in
function-key-map, and then substitute the new function keys for the old ones
in all the keymaps.

Just noting that scroll-left, scroll-right are such basic keys for
wide file users, that they should have single keystrokes in
addition/instead of C-x <, C-x >. Yes I can bind them, I'm talking
about choices for defaults.
By the way, I don't see any key on my keyboard marked "next" or "prior", so
C-next, C-prior are not to be found. Wait, I find they are called page
up and page down. OK, that means all you need to do is make C-h b,
C-h w give the more common names these days for prior etc. in addition
to prior etc.

That's because you have a wrong keyboard.
The `next', `prior', etc. names come from the Sun's keyboards, IIRC.

It's in the tutorial. You did read that, didn't you?

I'll have you know that I must use a very standard keyboard, as it
says "Designed for Microsoft(R)".

I took the tutorial back in the 1980's.
