That's it, I use the up arrow of my keyboard. The funny thing is this :
when I type a text, I have the "up-problem" I exposed, but when I'm
inside an equation environement, using the up arrow of my keyboard makes
me go just one line above, and not 5. It's weird, but I think it's only
a question of finding how to tell xemacs to move up by one line only
when I hit the up arrow of my keyboard.

As I said before, I'm a beginner, and the syntax you are using, that is
"Alt-x previous-line", I do not really understand it. For instance, how
do you paste with xemacs ? Under windows, it's "Ctrl + V", but under
xemacs it doesn't work that way. I went to the tab menu named "edit",
and here what I found in front of "paste" : (<paste>). What is this ?
Every time I want to paste something from the clipboard, I use click
with the mouse on "paste" inside the tab menu "edit", but it would be
much more quicker to use some keystroke.
