Yikes!  I think you are confused.  You are typing "ESC ," and "ESC ." not,
"ESC <" and "ESC >".  I think you are forgetting to hit the shift key.
Try invoking the commands beginning-of-file and end-of-file by hand
(using ESC X) and you will see that they work.  "ESC ," is bound to
beginning-of-window and "ESC ." is bound to "end-of-window" sortof the
analogy of "ESC <" and "ESC >".

Strange, my version of jove (version 4.5) does not do anything of the kind.

I haven't had any problems with the ESC-> or ESC-< in Jove Version 4.9.

I have it running on both a VAX BSD4.1 and SYSV.0.  However, I am having
problems with the CTRL-Z and ESC-Z keys which are suppossed to scroll one
line up and down.  The keys seems to function, but the whole screen gets
redrawn.

I've seen versions of Jove and Emacs where the lines are just inserted, but
the screen does not look like it is redrawn.

Does anyone have the same problem and/or does anyone know how to fix it ?

Thanks in advance.

May also depend on your termcap entry. If it contains entrys for
add and delete line (al,il,AL,IL) or to change the scrolling
region (cs, like vt100 has) GNUEmacs and perhaps also Jove will
use it occasionally to update the screen.
