I edited this post:

I'm not clear pilgrim - are you also against the AHK idea (if that could work) ?
replacing home (Fn+Home) with an easier combination, e.g. Ctrl [SOME-KEY]+Home

[edit] It's complicated by the fact that Home itself is used in keyboard-combination - with Control AND Shift at any rate [/edit]

I thought I was being very smart :D
I made Ctrl+F12 into home, but that worked as Ctrl+Home (bringing me to start of body of text)
Next I tried Shift+F12 - but that selects all preceeding text (as in Shift+Home)

So you cant use Shift or Control ...

I tried some alt combos here but they had unexpected results.

You need this AHK page
http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Hotkeys.htm
and maybe this one:
http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/KeyList.htm

and your script will look something like this:
[new key(s)]::Homewithout any brackets

naturally you'll need to test it on the netbook (you were talking about compiling - that's not necessary but can be done at the end if you want)

Microsoft remapkey.exe
I have used remapkey for years.

that looks nice - have you tried it on more recent OS's?
I see on the MS dowload page they say Note: The Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools are not supported on 64-bit platforms.-

All I know is that on my HP ENVY laptop (Win7-64 Home Premium) one of the first things I did was to use remapkey to remap these keys:
caps lock -->  right shift
right ctrl --> delete

I use AHK to detect right shift+left shift+[an alpha key] as hotkey combos to launch different applications. This is so as to avoid reserved hotkey conflicts, because nothing else is very likely to use right shift+left shift hotkey combos.
The right ctrl key is never required by me, and just happens to be where I want the delete key to be (instead of in the top-RH corner, just above the home key, inviting a mistake).

By the way, @mouser's TapTap is pretty nifty for this sort of thing, and does not involve key remapping:
Example:
You might have a program which normally triggers on Alt+Ctrl+F5, but you want to configure it to trigger with a double tap of the right control key. You can use TapTap to detect Right Control Doubletap events, and send a Ctrl+Alt+F5 when it does. In this way, you can control your programs the way you want to, and they never know the difference.
