When
A response is longer than the window (a booking file, a help page, a history), or you want to repeat or fix your last entry without typing it again.
Steps
| # | Entry | What it does | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | MD · MU | Moves down · up. | Read the rest of a long display. |
| 2 | MT · MB | Jumps to the top · to the bottom. | Start or end of a long booking file or history. |
| 3 | MD12 | Moves down 12 lines (up to 99). | Skip a block you already know. |
| 4 | MR | Moves down and shows only the lines that are left. | No repeated lines on the last page. |
| 5 | MD0 | Shows the current screen again. | Refresh after scrolling around. |
