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 >".
