Yeah, I wasn't sure what you wanted, but unfortunately I am quite
sure that you won't get it ;-), see below.

I don't think there is a corresponding function for *half*-down/up
in slrn.

You can configure keybindings in your slrnrc, the above would be:

setkey article article_page_up "k"

But probably you're rather looking for header_page_up.

manual.txt and slrnfuns.txt

I don't know whether there's a sample slrnrc with all the default
keybindings around, but they are documented in manual.txt
