Most of these questions have been discussed before by us "old timers".  I
realize, however, that new people are always joining the group.  What you
described with port 1/west/fire button not pressed is that the c64 uses the
same hardware to read its keyboard.  Hence, some joystick configurations get
mapped into chars.  That particular situation maps to the Control key, which,
as everyone knows, slows the screen scrolling down if the cursor is at the end
of the screen.
