Thank you for the clarification, Glenn. Something still bothers me about 
this though.

As it is, "scrolled the screen" gives the impression of mobile screen 
moving over a static document, where scrolling down equates to advancing 
forward through the text.

If the instances of 'screen' in this section of the tutorial were 
changed to 'text' then this would match the definitions given in the 
manual and avoid any confusion. This section of the tutorial is the only 
place I have found that they are described this way (They are previously 
described as moving forward and backward by screenfuls, which is much 
less ambiguous).
