Subject:   Consistent keys for console and PuTTY

Getting the Delete, Home, and End keys to work consistently both from
the console and through PuTTY has been a problem for lots of people.

Short form for csh: use bindkey to bind ANSI escape sequences so the
keys work the same locally or remote:

bindkey "^?" delete-char
bindkey "\e[3~" delete-char
bindkey "\e[1~" beginning-of-line
bindkey "\e[4~" end-of-line

However, a quick search found this web page, which covers both bash and
tcsh (which'll work for csh):
