When development versions of Emacs show new behaviour, read etc/NEWS.

* Editing Changes in Emacs 23.1

** The C-n and C-p line-motion commands now move by screen lines,
taking continued lines and variable-width characters into account.
Setting `line-move-visual' to nil reverts this to the previous
behavior (motion by logical lines based on buffer contents alone).

Hello!

In earlier versions of GNU Emacs 23.0.60 C-n, cursor-down, C-p,  
cursor-up, processed text lines. Now the text cursor moves only  
through lines on the screen.

Example: a text line of 1000 characters in an 80 characters wide  
window consumes 13 lines on screen. To reach the next (or previous)  
line of text I'd have to press up to 13 times a cursor key or C-p or  
C-n.

C-e and C-a behave as usual.

With Capitalism man exploits man. With communism it's the exact
