HI Stefan et al!,

Thanks this was what I was looking for. A couple of notes about this.
First in SuSE you'll find the inputrc file in /etc. If you don't have it
in your /~home files like me. I just copied it to my /~home and changed
it to add the command I wanted. 

The next question is I have a win98 keyboard. It has two windows keys and
3 buttons. None of these give anything when I use the Ctrl-V. Any idea how
to get them to work? 

Thanks!
