GNU emacs. Previously with, oh, version 18, IIRC, [home] took me to the top of the file and [end] took me to the bottom. Certainly now with version 21 [home] takes me to the beginning of line and [end] takes me to end of line. I can't say more exactly which versions in between did which. BTW... I have adapted my use of those keys instead of redefining them, which would be easy to do too. I leave them as I find them. Actually, it just confirmed the need to stay on the main home row keys. M-< and M-> work more reliably. Bob
