 the commands C-p, C-b, C-f, and C-n.  Each of these commands moves the
 cursor one row or column in a particular direction on the screen.

 Most Emacs commands accept a numeric argument; for most commands, this
 serves as a repeat-count.  The way you give a command a repeat count

 Did you see what happened?  Emacs, in an incremental search, tries to
 go to the occurrence of the string that you've typed out so far.  To
