How do I get Home from here?

I love my macs, but one of the few aspects of using one that annoys me is the utter lack of home/end keys on the keyboard. Please, somebody tell me there's some minor point I've missed in configuration that magically enables these keys in terminal. (Command-arrow keys don't count--they work in text environments to jump to the beginning or end of a line, but not at all in terminal environments, which means that if i need to change the beginning of a really long command, i'm left with just holding the arrow until i'm back at the beginning of the line. This totally blows.

How is it Apple gets so many other things so right and totally cocks that up?

for anyone that comes across this, iTerm is a terminal replacement that you can use and will respond to Fn-left and Fn-right as home/end keys, addressing the biggest pain in my ass behind using terminal.
