  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.
