Thanks for pointing this out as a reference. And here it is:-

  Key  Task

  End
       Move to the last choice in a menu.  In an
       entry field, move the cursor to the end of
       the line.


This does not really help a coder as far as a standard way of diplaying a
screen when a user has pressed END, whilst viewing a scrollable list. In
particular should the last item appear at the bottom of a full page, or
separately at the start of a new page ?
