RE: [h-e-w] Using thinkpad keys in Emacs for windows

Hi Kenneth,

I apologize for not being explicit enough.
It's a Thinkpad T500, and I'm talking about the keys on both
sides of the up arrow key. They complete the 4 arrow keys
into a 2*3 pattern, and are available on most thinkpads.

Page up and Page down have a very useful and natural
use already, so I don't want to change it.

 Thanks,
 Amnon

My T60p doesn't have page-forward, but it does have "PgUp" and "PgDn".

They map to "prior" and "next" and I map them as (e.g.)

(global-set-key [prior]      'scroll-one-line-down)
(global-set-key [M-prior]    'scroll-other-window-one-line-down)
(global-set-key [S-prior]    'scroll-down)
(global-set-key [C-prior]    'beginning-of-buffer)

They work equally well with an external keyboard, and both work
for Linux and Windows.
