The laptop has no page-up/down buttons. How can I have page-up/down on the terminal, e.g. when I edit with vi?

On Snow Leopard on MacBook, I use Fn + Up or Fn + Down to page up and down respectively on the terminal. And when inside an editor, such as vim, I hold the shift key in addition to the mentioned key combinations to page up and down within the editor.

Generally on the Macbook page up and page down are a key combination. On current Macbooks Page Up is the FN (function) key (at the bottom left of the keyboard) and up arrow. Page down is FN key and down arrow. On some older macbooks I believe you need to use the 'Apple' key (which is located in roughly the same place as the Windows key on a PC keyboard) instead.
