Re: German tutorial fix

[Richard Stallman <rms@gnu.org>]

Using control characters is more efficient than using the arrow keys,
so I don't think we should stop teaching people to use them.  However,
people are right that users will probably understand what the arrow
keys do, which means we can use them to explain the control
characters.

We also should tell users why we recommend the control characters.

Here's the change I am thinking of making.  Any suggestions?

     Find the cursor again and notice that the same text
     is near the cursor now.
  
+ You can also use the PageUp and PageDn keys to do scrolling, if your
+ terminal has them, but you can edit more efficiently if you use C-v

  Moving from screenful to screenful is useful, but how do you
  move to a specific place within the text on the screen?
  
! There are several ways you can do this.  The most basic way is to use
! the commands C-p, C-b, C-f, and C-n.  Each of these commands moves the
! cursor one row or column in a particular direction on the screen.
! Here is a table showing these four commands and the directions they
! move:

     centered in the screen.
