START OF LINE
Moves the cursor to the start of the current line, unless already there.
Key: CTRL/H or BACKSPACE EVE default
GOLD-<-- (left arrow) EVE default
ALT/<-- (left arrow) Motif func key
Usage notes:
o It is possible to move left of the left margin if the left margin is
greater than 1 and if SET CURSOR FREE is in effect---see helo on the
MOVE LEFT command.
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 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 On VT100-series terminals, BACKSPACE and CTRL/H are the same. The EDT
keypad redefines CTRL/H or BACKSPACE to move to the start of the
current line or previous line but does not affect GOLD-LEFT
o Motif function keys are on by default in the DECwindows environment.
