It seems rather silly to throw away one of wscons's major features -
uniformity across multiple platforms - by making something as useful
and conceptually portable as scrolling work only one on particular
platform (a popular one, but still just one).  (I've never seen a
non-peecee keyboard with PgUp/PgDown keys.)
