Enabling this: Config/Options/UnserInterface:

╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗

║ [x] The cursor will jump automatically to the ║

...is a good alternative.

When you are reading a message, press F1 for further info:


║ When reference links available ║
║ (Maus, Fido): ║
║ ║
║ + Go to the next message in the ║
║ reference link (if any) ║
║ ║
║ - Go to the original message in the reference ║
║ link (as long as it's still in the ║
║ messagebase). ║
║ ║
║ Ctrl-Page-Up ║
║ Jumps to the chronologically preceding ║
║ message in the same Newsgroup. ║
║ ║
║ Ctrl-Page-Down ║
║ Jumps to the chronologically following ║
║ message in the same Newsgroup. ║
║ ║
║ Cursor-Left and Cursor-Right Toggles between ║
║ messages in the same reference link. ║


Ctrl-PgUP, and Ctl-PgDN isn't too bad at all, is it?

As you should already know by now, it's a simple matter of pressing Ctrl+PgDown whilst in the message reader. Do you have a problem with that?

There has there has to be one, makes no sense

However, I've redefined the Right-Arrow key to jump to the next message in the message reader by setting up a key macro: Config -> Keys -> Macros

WARNING: if you decide to play about with this feature, it's *VERY* easy
to make a *BIG* *MESS*!

Very powerful. Macros are another aspect of OpenXP that
comprises "the adventure"! :D
