I'm trying an older version in X, and a newer one (I think)
in a shell account.
The shell account is version 21.3.1
M-x emacs-version is how to find that out. I looked in the
FAQ but haven't yet seen it there. It's in a back post in
the NG archive.

Thank you. Thank you!
This works in the X version.
I now am perplexed at why
Meta-V scrolls up but the Meta-< and Meta-> don't go to
the file top or end. (It's actually the Alt-> and Alt-<
but the Alt-V works just fine)
I get this msg "No M-x tags search ... in progress"
The F1 doesn't do *anything* in the shell account emacs,
which is the newer one, or I have not quite got the right
rhythm, or something... half the time the "M-x emacs-version"
doesn't show up in the bottom line either.

Yes, I can C-x C-f and move around in a file but reading the
FAQ or tutorial helps. (I can do that in the xterm emacs)
