hi guys,

some time ago i asked about my problem with 'home' and 'end' key 
behaviour (but with only one response stating that it works) - so i'm 
trying again... with more details now.

these keys do not work neither on terminal nor in xterm (aterm). this is 
sometimes very annoying (for example when editing long command line)... 
they just produce tilde character on the command line.

i'm using ksh, but i observed similar behaviour with csh, too (but there 
home produces ^[[1~ end produces ^[[4~)

system is i386 with quite old -current (1.6zk or something like that). 
below, i attach my config files - there might be something that i'm 
missing...

these 2 keys (with some others that are not so critical for me - f1 for 
example) do not also work in midnight commander.

could anyone please help me to track down the problem? where should i look?

tia, kind regards,
lubos
