Add this to your ~/.emacs file:

(define-key global-map "\e[1~"               'beginning-of-line)
(define-key global-map [home]                'beginning-of-line)
(define-key global-map "\e[4~"               'end-of-line)
(define-key global-map [end]                 'end-of-line)
(define-key global-map [C-prior]             'beginning-of-buffer)
(define-key global-map [C-next]              'end-of-buffer)

The first and third lines are for text terminals (non-GUI mode).
