For tcsh, you should add following setup in .tcshrc
(or the .cshrc, ...) 

.tcshrc
# for 8-bit language
stty cs8 -istrip
stty pass8
setenv LANG C
setenv LC_CTYPE iso_8859_1
unsetenv NOREBIND
bindkey \\e[1~ beginning-of-line
bindkey \\e[3~ end-of-line

For bash, you should modify .bashrc(or .login, ...)
and .inputrc(setup for readline)

.bashrc

# for 8-bit language,
# also ~/.inputrc 
# set convert-meta off
# set output-meta on
stty cs8 -istrip
stty pass8
export LANG=C
export LC_CTYPE=iso-8859-1

.inputrc

# This file is read by the 'readline' library
# (the library which bash uses for its command-line editing facility)
$include /etc/inputrc

# for Chinese
set input-meta on
set output-meta on
set convert-meta off

# Make Home work
"\e[1~":beginning-of-line
# Make End work
"\e[4~":end-of-line
# Make Delete work
"\e[3~":delete-char
DEL:backward-delete-char

# Ignore case for the command-line-completion
# functionality.
set completion-ignore-case On

I recompiled the rxvt, so you should set the beginning-of-lne and end-of-line properly.
