Agreed.  That's what I said in my original mentioning of the 
issue.  :)

Yay!  This works.  Beautiful!


Now... just one more thing.  When cursor-movement-scrolls=On, the 
action 'scroll-backward' should behave exactly the same way as
when the cursor is on the top line and <up> is pressed.  So when 
PageUp is bound to 'scroll-backward' and one is at the top of a 
node, <PageUp> should not jump to the top of the preceding node, 
but to its end.  So one can use <PageUp> and <PageDown> to quickly 
skim through an entire document without missing a single paragraph.

Maybe a different variable should be used for that behaviour, 
because I can imagine people wanting this non-nodal pageflipping 
without the non-nodal cursorkeys.

Anyhow, thank you very much so far, Sergey.  This patch makes `info` 
quite a bit more usable.
