Howdy,

  Does anyone have, or have a reference to, a keyboard config for any of the 
major X console apps?  I'd like to have something like xterm or rxvt work 
with my keyboard in much the same way as things would work at the CLI.  I've 
been reading man pages until my eyes went red, and I just don't see how to 
properly get this configured.
  At this point, the only GUI based console I've gotten to work properly is 
TeraTerm on my NT box.  Just something wrong with having to go to NT to work 
with FreeBSD if ya know what I mean :)
  More specifically, I'd like to have the following keys perform these 
actions.

Backspace - kill character on the left
Delete - kill character on the right
Home - Move cursor to beggining of line
End - Move cursor to end of line
Ctrl Home - Move cursor to beggining of file
Ctrl End - Move cursor to end of file
Ctrl Rt Arrow - Move cursor to next word
Ctrl Lt Arrow - Move cursor to previous word

  Well, that's a bit more than the CLI, but that's my keyboard wish list.  I 
don't mind doing the work or the reading, but I seem to be working and 
reading all the wrong stuff!

Later on,
