In emacs21, are the keybindings for Home and End different? Does anyone know 
how to change the keybindings back to Esc-> and Esc-< respectively?

I think you want this (I know I do):

(global-set-key [home] 'beginning-of-buffer)
(global-set-key [end] 'end-of-buffer)

Yes, and yes.  Put the following two lines in your .emacs:

(global-set-key [end] 'end-of-buffer)
(global-set-key [home] 'beginning-of-buffer)

There is a section in the Emacs FAQ about key binding.  To get there,
type

C-h i
m Emacs FAQ

then select the menu item "Key bindings" from near the bottom of the menu
list.

FWIW on my setup C-Home and C-End go to the beginning and end
of the buffer respectively.  Looking through my .emacs, I see that
I've revised nothing about [home] and [end].

But I like the suggestions given by others just to make plain [home]
and [end] do this.
