I've tried this:
(define-key minibuffer-local-map [C-p] 'previous-history-element)
(define-key minibuffer-local-map [C-n] 'next-history-element)

But pressing 'C-p' after doing M-x, still just outputs "Beginning of
buffer" and pressing 'C-n' still just outputs "End of buffer", which was
what I got before doing the define-key settings about.
