See `bolp'.


for the sack of politness; heres my version of the functions (only
line and buffer sorry) feel free to do whatever.

(defun beginning-of-line-or-buffer ()
  "Sends point to the beginning of the current line, or, if already there,
   the beginning of the buffer"
  (interactive)
  (if (bolp)
      (goto-char (point-min))
    (beginning-of-line)
    ))

(defun end-of-line-or-buffer ()
  "Sends point to the beginning of the current line, or, if already there,
   the beginning of the buffer"
  (interactive)
  (if (eolp)
      (goto-char (point-max))
    (end-of-line)
    ))


I think at least the far jumps should place a mark so that C-x C-x
will get you back.  So you would want to use beginning-of-buffer
instead of (goto-char (point-min)) and the corresponding for the end.


Thanks for that; the info pages were kinda missleading (perhaps only for a beginner though).
