Add the following lines in .inputrc file in your account:
# allow the use of the Home/End keys
"\e[1~": beginning-of-line
"\e[4~": end-of-line
# allow the use of the Delete/Insert keys
"\e[3~": delete-char
"\e[2~": quoted-insert
As the comments reveal, these lines let you to use delete/insert/home/end keys as usual.
SunOS doesn't have any ls with output color support. It seems that only GNU ls support colors. You can download the binary/source of a program called colorls from here and use it in your system. At that page you can find the instruction of installing that program under TCSH. If you are using Bash shell, add the following lines to your .bashrc (I copied the colorls in the root of my home directory):
export LSCOLORS=6x5x2x3x2x464301060203
alias ll="~/colorls -GCFkAl"
stty tab0
To have a colorful command prompt, add the following line to your .profile file:
if [ "$PS1" ]; then
PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
fi
P.S.: I used these configurations on SunOS 4.1.
