The way I originally heard it from DEC-20 hacks was:

	^A	far left on keyboard, just as beginning of line is at 
		the far left end of the keyboard (again, ^B taken)

	^E	end of line

	^V	looks like a down arrow

	^Z	ctrl-Z was originally the C-M- prefix, and I have
		made it be so for my environment.  ^Z was chosen
		because it is near where the META key is on keyboards
		with META keys.
