Note on the rest of this message, in several places below Alex speaks "the 
fifth" where I typed a Vee character. 

I was thinking about this, and realized that the standard editor functionality 
of MacOS will simulate Emacs keystrokes. 

What this means is that control-V moves down a page, and meta-V as defined in 
standard emacs moves up a page. I was able to get the control-V to work I 
believe, but either I am forgetting my emacs commands after several years of 
non-use or something else is going on. 

Does anybody remember where the definition file for this is? This is code that 
MacOs inherited from the NeXT systems.  I expect that there is a "vi mode still 
around somewhere and for those of that persuasion wouldn't it be nice to have 
VI commands in textedit and mail composition?

Best Wishes,

Jonathan Cohn

Thanks. Interacting was one step I was missing, as I never interact with text 
unless I need vo-a to track my position. I also never knew what wrap to 
page/window in Text Edit do. Are they visual changes only, or is there 
something they do that is helpful to VO users aside from allowing page-level 
movements? For instance, does 'wrap to page' show what your document would look 
like, and where page breaks would be, when printed out on paper?
