Hi All,

I have a small problem with the KSH and Bash on a OpenBSD 4.2. with very long 
commands.
I have
echo $SHELL
/bin/ksh and
echo $KSH_VERSION
@(#)PD KSH v5.2.14 99/07/13.2
and in my ~/.inputrc is
set horizontal-scroll-mode Off

I found this setting in the man readline
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=readline&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html

But unfortunately it does not work.
It does not warp the line either in KSH or Bash. Instead it overwrites the 
already written text
which is annoying if you have very long commands.
I have tried as well the /etc/inputrc with this entry but it does not work 
again.
I read as well the man KSH but does not find any useable info there.

Strange enough if I start a csh it works but not with the other shells.

Has anybody maybe an fix or workaround how I can solve this?
Every hint is appreciated!!

Regards
Stefan
