We talk about both, actually:

  Moving from screenful to screenful is useful, but how do you
  move to a specific place within the text on the screen?

  There are several ways you can do this.  You can use the arrow keys,
  but it's more efficient to keep your hands in the standard position
  and use the commands C-p, C-b, C-f, and C-n.
