a question and a request

Hello,

When I use MP (3.3.17) in a Linux console (Suse 10.0) ctrl-end moves
the cursor to the end of the current line, and ctrl-home moves the
cursor to the beginning of the current line.  I much prefer the way
it works in X11, where ctrl-end takes me to the end of file and 
ctrl-home takes me to the beginning of file.  Do I have something
set up wrong or is this the way it is supposed to work in a console?

I like MP because it is similar to an editor I have been using for
many years, but has a few additional features.  However, it is missing
something which my old editor has.  I would like an option to specify
that when I do a "find", the line where the cursor ends up would be
moved to a specific row of the display, e.g. row 5.  Thus, as I do
repeated finds I can always look at that row to see what is found.  It
would be nice if the row could be specified in a configuration file or
with a command.  It would also be nice if there was a command that
would cause the row where the cursor is to be moved to that same row.

Thanks for a great editor!

Harold
