Open ~/.emacs and then work on this loop:
M-x global-set-key RET <press the key> RET <function binding> RET
C-x Esc Esc C-a C-k C-g ; repeat last command, beginning, kill
line, quit
C-x b .emacs RET
C-y
Finally save ~/.emacs.
The cursor movement functions are previous-line, next-line, backward-
char, and forward-char.
Since there is a file /usr/local/share/emacs/22.1.50/lisp/term/
linux.el I wonder whether it's worth to write a bug report about the
behaviour of your GNU Emacs in that "linux" terminal. It would be
worth to mention the actual key bindings of your system!
