Subject: Bug#3973: Home/End keys don't work right in nvi

Package: nvi
Version: 1.34-13

Linux console:

The End key inverts case of the character under the cursor,
flashes the screen, moves one character to the right, and
prints "Usage: [[." on the bottom of the screen.  It's not
right in elvis*-2.0-4 either - flashes, seems to have no
other effect.  Home works fine in both elvis and nvi.

xterm:

Both Home and End do some even more strange things (try it for
yourself to see).  BTW, elvis in non-X mode just beeps, but
Home/End work just fine when elvis runs in its own X window.

It could be a terminfo problem as well, I don't know.
