If I open this text file in Vim and I want to execute the command where the cursor is actually located I do copy the line with Y, switching to command mode with : and !CTRL+r*

My ~/.emacs start-up file is stored in my AFS home directory. Often when I login to a linux machine I will forget to renew my AFS credentials before attempting to edit a local (non-AFS) file with Emacs.

If I use the following .emacs file, I am able to go to the beginning/end of the current line using the home/end keys as I would expect.

(defvar program-dir (substring data-directory 0 -4))
(setq inhibit-startup-message t)
(setenv "HOME" program-dir)
