You're not the only one who destest those bleeping "info"-type
writeups.
Forward and BAckwards make sense; but then what is Up/Down?
And a yup on the outdated docs too. There is a seriously K00L
music app (Gnome), but the documentation was way out of date in

just a few ages of docs, so, I understand the problem. Code you
