10.0;pp (pad_page) *DM*, revision 1.0, 87/12/23
pp (pad_page)  scroll pad vertically by pages
usage:  pp [-n]



DESCRIPTION
     The pp command scrolls the pad vertically under a window in units of
     pages.  By default, the boxed up and down arrow keys invoke this command,
     scrolling in half-page units.  Specifying pp with no argument scrolls the
     file by one full page from the start to the end of the file.

ARGUMENTS
     [-n]           Specify scrolling increment in pages.  Positive (unsigned)
                    n scrolls down; negative n scrolls up.  Note that n may
                    also be a decimal fraction.  A page is defined as the
                    smaller of the following values:

     ⊕  The number of lines that fit in the window

     ⊕  The number of lines between the bottom of the window and the next form
        feed or frame
