If you are using a modem to access your HP-UX computer, you can try pressing ^O to toggle the fast scroll option. This option, whose default is Off, may speed up single-line scrolling operations. However, the screen update with fast scroll may be visually annoying.
The toggle WordMove feature selects whether the left and right cursor keys will move by characters or by words. This feature is useful if you have a slow connection to your host machine.

" contains these 2 full words: if
and (a==b)
. Press keypad-5 once again to return to move by single character.
