In emacs you can give a number to preface many commands, e.g. C-37 C-n will perform "next line" 37 times, and C-37 C-p will perform "previous line" 37 times. You can setup keybindings for these as well, but I find the basic navigation commands like C-v/M-v (up/down a page) and C-l (center current line in the buffer) to be sufficient.

Thanks guys. Wrt to moving down (or up) a block, vim-style, what I mean is the following (all functionality in 'Command Mode'). In Vim , you press *Ctrl-d* and *Ctrl-u* to go down and up a block respectively. Depending on the size of your window, it moves the cursor about 1/3rd of the way down (or up) the screen. This is very handy to have when just browsing a buffer. You can be more precise by pressing 37k, to move the cursor up 37 lines, etc. For whatever reason, I haven't been able to find something similar in Emacs.
