    Yes, that is the behavior I want, but I don't use X. I'm just running from
    the terminal and in that case, the home and end keys in 8.2 or 9.0 DON'T
    work as you describe. I need to get bash to work like you describe, but work
    that way from runlevel 3 and for ssh connections. My confusion is trying to
    figure out which, of the mired of bash config files, is the right bash
    config file to modify to produce the desired behavior from bash. Any
    thoughts??
