No, pan Right and pan left replace the line of Braille entirely by moving it right or left. You can't move a Braille display along one word at a time.

You interact with the table, then go to the Braille key whose function you want to change, and click on the menu button. You then have a choice of all the VO commands, including all the Braille commands. Press Return on the one you want to assign to that key. > and it seems i then cannot just type the key i want to > have assign to it but that i have to select it from a long list?

You should be able to read a whole web page by panning right all the time. Perhaps you should set your navigation to DOM mode. I've set a shortcut in Keyboard Commander to switch modes quickly. When navigating with VO, I prefer Groups mode, but when reading articles on the web, I prefer DOM mode as VO-a will read the whole article correctly that way. In Groups mode, VO-a puts all the links at the end of each group which makes nonsense of the piece. By the way, Dutch Braille should be available for SL in the near future.
