Trying a different tack, and getting rid of the ~/.inputrc, nor can I do this: $ bind '"\C-o": clear-screen' because ^o doesn't clear the screen, even though the output from $ bind -P includes the line: clear-screen can be found on "\C-l", "\C-o". I'm completely stumped ! Any suggestions gratefully received. If I'm being stupid, please just send me an email to that effect ! -- Harry Newton harry_newton@telinco.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
