I'm not using any kind of terminal, I want to use it right on the host machine on it's own keyboard...

I haven't had problems using pgup/pgdn and the arrow keys in pico, nano, emacs, or vim, so maybe there is something screwy with your terminal. Are you working directly from the console or over telnet or a serial console? If the latter then you may need to make sure that your terminal emulator is emulating the same thing that linux is using. - -- "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
