EVE START_OF_LINE — VMS 5.5

 START OF LINE

 Moves the cursor to the start of the current line, unless it is already
 there.

 Keys:  EVE Default                      DECwindows Func Key
        ----------------------------------------------------
        CTRL/H or GOLD-LEFT arrow        F12

 Usage notes:

 o  When you type or recall an EVE command, pressing a key defined as START
    OF LINE moves the cursor to the start of the command line.  See help on
    Editing Command Lines.

 o  GOLD-LEFT arrow is a "sleeper" key---it is defined by default, but the
    definition must be activated by setting a GOLD key or by setting the
    EDT or WPS keypad.  See help on Gold Keys.

 o  Setting the EDT keypad redefines CTRL/H to move to the start of the
    current line or, if already there, the start of the previous line.

 o  On VT100-series terminals, BACKSPACE and CTRL/H are the same.
