[REV BEG]
Purpose
Scrolls text to the left, moving the cursor toward the right margin.

where n is a count that represents the number of lines the file is to
scroll each time the Scroll Right command is executed. The default value
of n is 60.
Description
This command scrolls text so that the cursor moves toward the right
margin. Scroll Right is activated only when your files are wider than
the 80 columns visible on the HP EDIT screen.
Cursor Position
When you execute this command the cursor retains its position on the new
frame.
Scroll Size Options
You may specify a left/right scroll size other than the default of 60.
You can specify a different scroll size by either specifying a count
representing the desired scroll size before executing the command, or by
issuing the Set Options command and changing the scroll size field.
Changes you make to the scroll size only affect the current editing
