Re: Bug#118914: emacs21: Home and End key do not work as before.

[Rob Browning]

Forwarding a bug report noting that C-<home> and C-<end> do not work
as described on the console, though they do work find from X.

I tested in an rxvt, a gnome-terminal, and from the linux console with
no success.  However, I don't know if this is an Emacs bug or some
terminal limitation.

If you don't mind, please maintain the -forwarded address above so the
bug tracker will have a record of any further information.

Thanks
