Hello Thomas, Further to e-mail from Julio Merino on how to make the F2 key emit "|more\C-m" (i.e. put into ~.inputrc the line "\e[[B": "|more\C-m" ) I found, after much fruitless searching, that my F2 key has the string "\eOQ" instead attached and F10 has "\e[21~" .
I found this via a small C-program which I wrote. I now have the two lines in my ~.inputrc "\eOQ":"|more\C-m" "\e[21~":"ls -l" #F10 emits "ls-l" and all is well! This shows one of the problems with Linux: some necessary information is very hard to find. Ivan
