There is an environment variable INPUTRC which can be set to point to /etc/inputrc. > Moreover I have this in my /etc/profile: > > export LC_CTYPE=ISO-8859-1 > > but I'm not sure whether it is still needed or not (some time ago, bash > needed it, now I would have to check it). It is not needed for the bash but still useful for other programs. BTW, I found out that a setting to LC_CTYPE=de_DE works better for me than the above setting if LANG is set to de_DE, otherwise I get a message telling me: Warning: locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged Torsten -- "What a depressingly stupid machine" The Restaurant at the End of the Universe PGP Public Key is available -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
