While learning how to use emacs for editing is always a good thing,  ;-)
you might find these commands (or something very similar) to be useful
additions to your ~/.profile (or ~/.kshrc or whatever you point $ENV at)

	bind '^XH'=beginning-of-line
	bind '^XF'=end-of-line

These are logical extensions of the commands given as examples in the
manual page of how to set up the cursor keys on an ANSI compatible
terminal.

(Maybe they should be part of the default bindings too?  :-)
