Well, THANK YOU FOR THAT!

I never would have known it but for your two lines there!

No?  But isn't it clearly documented?

Well, sort of.   Here's part of a C-h b and a couple of C-h k's:

| <M-prior>	scroll-other-window-down
| <M-next>	scroll-other-window
| <C-next>	scroll-left
| <C-prior>	scroll-right
| <next>		scroll-up
| <prior>		scroll-down
| 
| 
| <prior> runs the command scroll-down
| (scroll-down &optional ARG)
|    which is an interactive built-in function.
| 
| Scroll text of current window down ARG lines; or near full screen if no ARG.
| A near full screen is `next-screen-context-lines' less than a full screen.
| Negative ARG means scroll upward.
| If ARG is the atom `-', scroll upward by nearly full screen.
| When calling from a program, supply as argument a number, nil, or `-'.
| 
| 
| 
| 
| <C-prior> runs the command scroll-right
| (scroll-right &optional ARG)
|    which is an interactive built-in function.
| 
| Scroll selected window display ARG columns right.
| Default for ARG is window width minus 2.
| Value is the total amount of leftward horizontal scrolling in
| effect after the change.
| If `automatic-hscrolling' is non-nil, the argument ARG modifies
| a lower bound for automatic scrolling, i.e. automatic scrolling
| will not scroll a window to a column less than the value returned
| by this function.

"<prior>"?   "<next>?".  

Why the <expletive-deleted> (shows my age, no?) didn't
"they" (rms?) call them pageDown and pageUp?

Yeah, maybe those two words, prior and next, are defined
somewhere in the gnu-emacs manual, but c'm on, give me a break!

Anyway, again, thanks for those two lines!

STRANGE this M-prior -- C-h b reports (see above) it
bound to scrolling the other window down --

BUT! -- C-h k  on it says "unbound"????
