Yes, I am replying to myself.

Sincere apologies - I didn't realize that there is a facility for changing
the portion of the screen which is in view at the given time.
The / key on the numeric keypad lets you view the left edge, right edge,
or the center of the screen (cutting off both sides partially).

I stand corrected. It was a two little lines in the manual which i
must have missed the first few times around...
