Commands: Screen control
========================
While hypertext effectiveness centers mostly on browsing
interfaces, the important page control commands are:
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ PgDn Displays next screen │
│ PgUp Displays previous screen │
│ Home Displays first screen of file │
│ End Displays last screen of file │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
The bottom of the screen displays the status line <link41>
showing the current screen number, total number of screens, and
"dashboard lights" recommending keys to press with longer files.
While the size of the displayed file is limited only by available
memory, most hypertext files are best understood if keep slightly less
than one screen in size because:
(1) smaller screens load faster ............. <link36>
(2) users read only first screen
