Is it possible to make Emacs emulate the behavior of modern text
editors with regard to wrapped lines -- that is, the Up and Down keys
move the cursor to one part of the wrapped line and then to the other?
For example, if the cursor is at position 0 on the wrapped line:
^abcd efgh abcd efgh abcd efgh -/
abcd efgh
then pressing Down will move it to the first part character of the
second fold of the line:
abcd efgh abcd efgh abcd efgh -/
^abcd efgh

The behaviour you are expecting is the actual one for me.
But this is quite new I believe. It used to skip the wrapped lines.
My version is: GNU Emacs 23.1.1

This depends on the setting of "line-move-visual".
I'm not sure when it was introduced, but its default value
became non-nil (the behaviour you want) in version 23.1.

This is the default in the latest versions, so upgrade.

Thanks everyone. My department server is using Emacs 21.3 from 2002!
