Still I dare claim that moving a cursor up one visible line has
nothing to do with the concept of a line delimited by newlines. For
the movement, such delimited lines are completely irrelevant. For the
movement there is no difference whether there is a newline on the
previous visible line or the line was broken due to the width of the
window.

What I speak about is 'as if' clicking the mouse up one visible lin= e.

R


How would you go about doing that?

The= re's no cursor based addressing available in the screens. And good ridd= ance too, methinks.
