pagedown

[Chris Swoyer]

I am using a Mac powerbookG4 with OS 10.3.2 and the latest enhanced
carbon emacs. Almost everything worked right out of the box when I
transported my _emacs file from my pc to my Mac (where it became
.emacs). But I have somehow lost the page-down function, which used
to work with Control-v (ditto for the page-up which was bound to
Control-s). I can't find anything in my .emacs file that should
affect any of this (no mention of Control-v, for example). I am far
from an expert on these things and this may not be enough info to
track things down, but if it sounds familiar to anyone, any
suggestions much appreciated.

Thanks,
CS

These bindings from <url: http://emacro.sf.net/ > may help.

;;Toggle whether Command key acts like Esc key.

You might wish to try "scroll-up" instead of "forward-page"

First, bring up your list of keybindings, by hitting C-h b
Next search the list for "scroll-up" or "forward-page". This will be 
more difficult, as you have remapped the C-s keybinding.

Finally, you can see what keystroke is generated, by hitting the
	PgDn
key, then inspect its result with
