You can also get the actual PgDn and PgUp keys to work in a region.  Suppose your region has 6 rows visible at once.  In the calling program:
 
SET KEYMAP [PgDn] = [F8][F8][F8][F8][F8][F8]
SET KEYMAP [PgUp] = [F7][F7][F7][F7][F7][F7]
enter /edit using formname...
SET KEYMAP [PgDn] OFF
SET KEYMAP [PgUp] OFF
 
YOu can do the same with the Up and Down keys. However, understand that if your form has popups or combo boxes, the up/down/pgup/pgdn keys won't work in those places!

Subject: Next/Prev Page Action Buttons

Dr. R,
 
Thank you for the clarification regarding the Next/Prev Page action buttons.
 
For whatever reason, I was under the impression that the newly added
pre-defined button actions would allow the user to scroll X number of rows
Up (Prev) or Down (Next) in a form that had a region defined in it.
 
I was so excited about using the new functionality of this feature that I failed
to realize you actually meant "Next" or "Prev" FORM PAGES not rows within
a region.  (Insert Homer Simpson "Doh" here...)
 
I can still accomplish it with a simple call to an EEP and passing a parameter
on the number of rows to scroll Up/Dn with the NEXTROW...PREVROW
EEP commands.
 
By the way, I just got R:base for Windows 6.5++
Way cool man!
 
Application Development just got Funner!
 
Thanks again,
