Home and End did work prior to version 3.12 (that was 3.7 and 3.9 I guess),
and Delete should do the same as Backspace, at least according to the help
messages. I don't think Insert was ever bind to any action, I just mentioned
it for completeness.
Anyway, Karl Berry has told me that info just uses termcap. We in Debian use
terminfo, with some kind of termcap background compatibility. Maybe that's
broken somehow?
I'll repeat myself - if anyone wishes to fix this, and needs an account on a
machine exhibiting the problem, just tell me. I'd try to fix it myself,
but I'm not good enough programmer.
