There is a bug in Emacs Manual bundled with GNU Emacs 23.2.  In the
second sentence, first paragraph, section 7.2 (entitled "Changing the
Location of Point").  It is an error with the functions that point
motion keys deserve.  On "respectively" scope, keys `C-n' and `C-p' are
with inverted meaning.

The original text is:

"The keyboard commands `C-f', `C-b', `C-n', and `C-p'
move point to the right, left, up and down respectively."

But the right would be:

"The keyboard commands `C-f', `C-b', `C-n', and `C-p'
move point to the right, left, down and up respectively."

The next sentence corroborate it:

"These are equivalent to the commands `<right>', `<left>', `<down>', and `<up>',
entered using the "arrow keys" present on many keyboards."
