CURSOR MOVEMENT

2 solutions I can think of, both requiring modification of your keyboard (.kbd)
file: (1) have the cursor move 2 lines at a time up and down; and (2) use
"linear" movement instead of "cursor" movement. To accomplish (1) change key
assignments 72 and 80 to read: 72=CU,CU and 80=CD,CD To accomplish
(2) change these keys to read: 72=LU and 80=LD Linear up and down
functions are principally used when a mouse is attached so the cursor does not
bounce around the screen (which appears to be your objection). Of course, a
much simpler solution to your cursor placement problem is to instruct the
screen to always show single spacing, regardless of true spacing set in the
file. To do that, simply go to the command line and type: d lf=0
lf=0 always shows single spacing, while lf=1 shows true spacing (which appears
to be your preference).
