There are two minor things that irk me about scroll-up and scroll-down.

First, sometimes I need to page back a couple of pages to look at
something. I expect that if I hit scroll-down twice and then scroll-up
twice I will end up on the line I started from. Unfortunately, this
doesn't happen.

Secondly, and I realize this may contradict #1, I think that multiple
scroll-down's should ultimately move the point to the top of the buffer.

In other words I am looking for functions that are cursor movement
functions, not scrolling functions, and that work like PgUp and PgDn
on typical PC word processors, which I am used to.

Before I start elisphacking, has this been done yet? Can anybody post
some appropriate code?

Thanks,
