[GNC] change default behavior of ctrl-PgDn - solved

[Jeff]

My mistake I suppose.  Every program I have ever used uses Ctrl-PgDn to 
go to the end of the file at the first entry point and Ctrl-PgUp to go 
to the top of the file at the first entry.  GNC seems to have a 
different hotkey combination for this behavior.  I have never ran across 
another program that uses Shft-PgDn to go to the bottom of the file or 
Shft-PgUp to go to the first entry.

Shft-PgUp and Shft-PgDn are used to select everything from the current 
caret to top of file or bottom of file for copy/cut in all other 
programs that I have ever used.

A habit that I will have to break when using GNC.  I just tested it and 
in fact Shft-PgDn does take me where I want it to.

Thank you for explaining in John Ralls.
