I think it's terminfo. Nvi is looking at the terminfo
capabilities khome and kll for Home and End, respectively,
which are then mapped into '^' and '$'.
For TERM=linux, khome is correct and kll isn't defined.
For TERM=xterm, the khome in terminfo is not the same
as the keystroke generated in the xterm: I don't know
which is correct. Again, kll isn't defined.
I'm reassigning this to ncurses-bin.
