They are not particularly handy for repeated movement (except via `z z > z'). When using these commands, I typically browse by pages, pausing briefly to look at each one to see if it's the one that I want; I can easily have already typed the next C-x during that time, and then C-g if I don't want to go anywhere. > 2. `C-s C-q C-l' (`C-s C-s...') is quicker for repeated movement among > pages. (I always use that.) That's not equivalent; from the 21.3 docs I see forward-page is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `textmodes/page'. (forward-page &optional COUNT) Move forward to page boundary. With arg, repeat, or go back if negative. A page boundary is any line whose beginning matches the regexp `page-delimiter'. > 3. The use of `C-u C-]' is good, to move forward N pages, but that's > probably almost as useful without any binding (using `C-u M-x > forward-page'). As there is no `goto-page', it seems relatively likely to want to do M-< C-u nnn C-x ]. I'd rather not extend that key sequence farther. Davis -- This product is sold by volume, not by mass.
