I generally want scroll up and down, but a line at a time, not a page. I also want scroll right. However, for cursor left I want wrap; in TSPF I often use cursor left and END to get to the end of the previous line.

I use the cursor-down key all the time if I'm near the bottom of the screen and want to be near the top. I would be seriously PO'd if some ISPF-like program changed that to do any kinf of scroll down, whether line or screen at a time.
