Is it in frames or not?  You could use <ControlTab> if it is, when you get
to the link of the article you want to read.  <PageDown> does still work,
although perhaps not in the same way it used to.  You can also activate the
links list with <InsertF7> and then type the first *few* letters of the
article's title to highlight it, then go to activate link button, and then
Enter.

Subject: Re: Missing keystroke for moving from screen to screen on web sites
in 331


: Greetings,
: The problem is this.  On each page, onewill see the title of some article
at
: the bottom right. And that title and maybe 2  introductory lines are at
the
: bottom of that page. But the rest of that article is continued  on another
: page. that is how the site gets you to  open more pages.  that  opening of
: more screens used to be accomplished via the "page down keystroke"--but
now
: that no longer works in 331. So you are right in that everything on the
: first page is  buffered--but not beyond that first page.
: to get beyond that original page, you have to  do something--formerly the
: pagedown--to move beyond to  another screen. The only choices are to
abandon
: Virtual cursor (and then pagedown works) or go on a  fishing  expedition
to
: find whatever link might  correspond to the next screen. On a page I  just
: visited, there were 8 links named "Continued"  any of which could have
been
: that nice next screen where most of the article I wanted to read was
hiding.
: This is a real problem and costs wasted time and effort.
: All  I  am saying is that we need the functionality of the "downarrow" to
: also work in Virtual cursor.
: I did find  the articles I wanted to read, but  it was  not efficient.
: persistence won over time saved.
: This lack of "pagedown" is annoying. The buffering only helps you on the
: intro page--but the rest of the articles remain hidden on subsequent
: screens. That is my point.
