Hmmm... I wonder where you got those sequences (using infocmp on
vt100, perhaps? That seems to have those sequences for controlling
the terminal, not as sequences the terminal would send, though the
end-of-line sequence looks odd) - xterms (well, _my_ xterm) uses
Esc-[-H for home and Esc-[-F for end.
Here's a suggestion - use 'infocmp vt200' and look at what it says for
Home, End, Page Up and Page Down (these will be the khome, kend, kpp
and knp entries, respectively). ('infocmp vt100' won't work since the
vt100 didn't have those keys, though the later vt200s did).
Those seem to be the sequences sent by the console when in text mode.
kpp = key "Previous Page"
knp = key "Next Page"
(this is the way the labels read on the vt220, not "Page up" and "Page
down" as on the PC)
