You should try hacking terminfo instead. Use
$ infocmp $TERM
and look at khome, kend, kpp and knp. They should match the sequences
your term is generating for Home, End, PgUp and PgDn respectively.
For example, Eterm 0.9 on my system is configured to send this:
$ keystrings
^D exits
\e[1~
\e[4~
\e[5~
\e[6~
\4
(keystrings is a small program whose sole purpose in life is to display
nicely formatted character sequences. I hacked it from examples in
libc.inf).
If they don't match, you can redirect the output of infocmp to a file,
modify it and reinstall with `tic'.
Good luck.
