On my MBP and my iMac, I can use the up and down arrows to scroll up and down a page. On my BlackBook, I have to click somewhere on the page first then I can scroll using the arrow keys. If I don't click first, pressing the function key then one of the arrow keys will allow me to scroll up and down.
Anyway I can get this to scroll in Safari like my iMac and MBP?

Second Question: In Safari on my MBP and iMac, I can press the delete key to go back pages in Safari. On Safari on the MacBook, this doesn't work. How can I go back a page or two using the keyboard?

Third question: Copy and paste. When I highlight some text and right click on copy, I go to where I want to copy it and there is no option to paste the text. This just happened on my iMac and it has happened several times before too. I tried cutting the text and then pasting but there is no paste, making me lose what I just typed. What am I doing wrong here?
Oh, and of course after I took the time to retype this, I now see that it will allow me to paste my text that I copied but it wasn't there when I started to type this.

I've been using my MBP since July and really had no huge problems but it's time to figure out these three questions.

Thanks for the help!
