My Inspiron 3000 is
Dell Inc. Inspiron 11-3162/050HCR, BIOS 1.0.9 06/16/2016

and I can not seem to get the page up / page down working right. I hit fn-pgup 
and fn-pgdown.
At first it repeated, and now it does nothing. I am not sure what is up. The 
PgUp is combined
with the up arrow.

"There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to
make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other
way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies."
