Jumping around the text based on the length of the lines and where the nearest \r is seems odd now. If I have a long line of wrapped text, pressing down arrow doesn't go down one line, it goes down one paragraph, Lunix's vi's confusing jumping cursor should tell you that. YMMV of course. But please, and I'm sure no-one will, don't change the cursor keys in Acme. And while you discuss it, don't forget that Home and End are also different in plan9 in that they refer to the document not the current line. matt
