Help on TPU keyboard conflicts with Kermit, WordPerfect

I just tried using the WP30.ini keyboard mapping supplied with Kermit 3.12 to
connect from my local PC to our VAX (VMS 5.4) in an attempt to be able to use
the standard PC key mappings in VAX WordPerfect 5.0, and everything worked
great, except...

A few keys that I had defined in my eve$init.eve file, such as assigning
Previous Screen and Next Screen to the PageUp and PageDown keys (both sets, on
my enhanced AT keyboard) seem to be over-ridden by the Kermit settings for the
VT320 (**regardless of whether or not I am using the WP mapping**).  I managed
to figure out how to re-assign them from within Kermit by defining the
appropriate keys to be KDecPrev and KDecNext, but have not been able to figure
out how to define keys in Kermit equivalent to Top and Bottom (of file).  The
Home and End keys are defined by Kermit to be the Top of the screen buffer and
End of the screen buffer, _not_ the Top and Bottom of the working file in the
editor.  I need a descriptor equivalent to KDecPrev, only for the Top and
Bottom commands in TPU.

This question might better be asked on the Kermit list, but since I do not
subscribe to it and I _do_ sunscribe to this one, I thought I would check this
out with the experts here, first.  Many thanks in advance for any help that can
be offered.
