 Keys:  EDT Keypad          WPS Keypad
        -----------------------------------
        KP1                 KP4 or GOLD-KP4

 Steps:

    1.  If necessary, set the direction to move in---forward or reverse.

    2.  Use MOVE BY WORD (see key list above).

 Usage notes:

 o  MOVE BY WORD always moves to the start of a word---in forward
    direction, to the start of the next word, if any; in reverse direction,
    to the start of the current word or previous word, if any.

 o  The start of a word is the first non-whitespace character.  A series of
    tabs, or tabs and spaces, is not treated as separate words.

 o  For continuous movement, you can hold down or repeat a key defined as
    MOVE BY WORD, until you reach the bottom or top of the buffer.

 o  With the WPS keypad, KP4 or GOLD-KP4 continues a WPS case change as
    follows:

    1.  Press the WPS Lower Case key (GOLD-KP3) or WPS Upper Case
        key (KP3) to change the case of a character.

    2.  Press KP4 or GOLD-KP4 to continue the case change from the current
        character until the start of a word.
