These are not ARP features, they're standard features of any string
gadget.  Shift-cursor-right or left moves the cursor to the beginning or
end of the line.  Right-Amiga-X clears the string gadget.  Right-Amiga-Q
restores the gadget to it's original contents after you've screwed it
up.  Did I miss any?

These work in _any_ string gadget.

Actually, I'd like to see a few more features in there myself, like
deleting words, moving cursor by a word, insert/replace toggle, and the
like.
