Barry,
I've just reviewed the operation and I can tell you that you don't have to
type any page number at all into the edit field after you press Control G
for Go to Page Number. You just press Control G, hit enter, then press
Escape just as you might after doing a Control F find to clear away the
little window, and you have stayed where you started, instead of being
taken to a page you didn't really want or need to go to. And now Control
Page Up and Control Page Down work again just to move up and down one page
at a time.
Hope this helps. sorry I didn't have time to experiment and remind myself of
this earlier.

All you then do is control G for go to a page, insert a page number that
exists, hit enter and let it take you to the page, and thereafter your
control page up or down works again until you next use find .
