So, forgive me if I'm dense, but: bind '"\C-w": backward-kill-word' ? This doesn't seem to work w/ bash 3.00.x; with other versions, it works just the same as putting it in .inputrc. So I don't think this really fixes the "problem" w/ bindings defined by the system.

It doesn't seem to cause any errors with older versions of Readline). Is there any "fix" (even a dumb one) within bash 3.00.x? I'm likely to be using the vendor supplied bash for a while on a lot of systems (RHEL 4, for instance), and don't particularly want to futz with installing a different version. w _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
