In vi/vim, ctrl-e moves the text displayed *up* a line, but leaves the 
cursor on the same line and character position.  Ctrl-y moves the text 
displayed *down* a line while leaving the cursor on the same line and 
character position. The cursor only changes lines when the cursor abuts 
the top or bottom of the screen.
