I don't get it. The arrow buttons on the APC have always moved you through session view. In fact, that's what they are for? What exactly is changed?

Edit: nm. I get it. I think what "scrolling" means in this context is that you can hold an arrow button down and see it scroll in that direction rather than move one by one.
