Well it definately isn't using the emacs bindings.  About the only
things that work are C-a and C-e to go to the beginning and end of
lines.

Any ideas on how I could try and track down what is happening?

When you change around defaults using the "Preferences" option of the
Edit menu, does it actually change for you?  Or did you set the emacs
preferences using a different method?

Cheers,
