After `C-h a scroll RET' I found in the *Apropos* buffer:

,----
| scroll-up                   <next>, C-v
| Command: Scroll text of current window upward ARG lines; 
| or near full screen if no ARG.
`----

The documentation of this command says:

,----[ C-h f scroll-up RET ]
| scroll-up is an interactive built-in function.
| (scroll-up &optional ARG)
| 
| Scroll text of current window upward ARG lines; 
| or near full screen if no ARG.
| A near full screen is `next-screen-context-lines' less than a full screen.
| Negative ARG means scroll downward.
| If ARG is the atom `-', scroll downward by nearly full screen.
| When calling from a program, supply as argument a number, nil, or `-'.
`----

So `M-1 C-v' will scroll the text of current window upward one line.

Exercise. Find two different key sequences to scroll the text backward
one line.

Bye.
