Re: A basic cursor problem

What command are you using to go "up"?

For example, Ctrl-P?
Alt-x previous-line {Enter}?
An arrow on your keyboard?

Or something else entirely?

If a keystroke, what command does it actually execute?
Hit F1 followed by k followed by the keystroke you use to go up a line.

What happens if you do Alt-x previous-line {Enter}?

Sorry, I mean the character cursor, the one which is inside xemacs and
moves to the right each time you type a letter. The problem is that when
I want to go in line just above, it takes me 5 lines up. I hope that my
problem is better defined. Thanks.
