The reason was that the file ~/.inputrc contained "\e[E":beginning-of-line "\e[H":beginning-of-line "\eOH":beginning-of-line "\eOF":end-of-line "\EOF":end-of-line <------------------ the offending line "\e[F":end-of-line "\e[e":end-of-line Cheers, -- Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +44 1908 653 739 Fax: +44 1908 655 151 Snail: David Wright, Earth Science Dept., Milton Keynes, England, MK7 6AA Disclaimer: These addresses are only for reaching me, and do not signify official stationery.
