As it turns out, there was a line in the /etc/profile which would switch the $INPUTRC to my ~/.inputrc, but that only happened when I logged into the KDE. The READLINE section of the bash man page doesn't address the questions I asked. Do you know where the answers can be found?

Sorry I deleted your original question before reading it. The .inputrc (readline startup file) is covered in a book from O'Reilly called "Learning the Bash Shell" as well as other details on command line editing. The entries in .inputrc are entered as KEY: command control-t: end-of-line # Pressing CTRL-T cursor moves to end of line control-x: "Some text" # Presing CTRL-X will cause "Some text" to be entered Also look at the 'bind' command which uses similar syntax to readline. bind '"\C-t": end-of-line' Hope that helps. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
