CTRL+UP ARROW and CTRL+DOWN ARROW do not scroll the screen in QB.EXE
in QuickBASIC Version 3.00, but they do in QuickBASIC Versions 2.00,
2.01, 4.00, 4.00b, 4.50, in the QB.EXE editor that is included with
Microsoft BASIC Compiler Versions 6.00 and 6.00b for MS-DOS, and in
the QBX.EXE editor of Microsoft BASIC Professional Development System
(PDS) Version 7.00 for MS-DOS.

Changes were made in the QuickBASIC Version 3.00 editor to allow
Superkey support; support for CTRL+UP ARROW and CTRL+DOWN ARROW was
removed during this change. In the non-3.00 product versions above,
these keys successfully scroll the screen down or up one line at a
time.
