And I'm feel obliged to thank you for that :-)

In fact, I first asked for a similar question in the Spanish mailing list 
a month ago or so, but no one suggested these "keyboard combos" and of 
course, I was neither aware of it.

Bash manual provides "home/end" replacements but I also looked for "page 
up/page down" key combos because my netbook lacks for them. While 
searching for a good way to mimic the keys, I also found -by pure chance- 
these combos:

ctrl-v = page up
ctrl-b = page down
