Well \C-s is somewhat special. Usually this does not find it's way through to readline. Use "stty -a" to see all keys getting special treatment. \C-s by default is bound to stop (denoted with ^S). >Besides, how do I represent function keys? I think, they are represented just like cursor keys. Unfortunatly (to my knowledge, which may well be incomplete), there is no terminal independent way to denote these keys. What you can do is: cat -A then press the cursor key in question and see, what sequence is issued. Replace the ^[ (Escape) you see with \M- (Meta) for .inputrc Merry X-Mas, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
