Respectively, these keys are mapped to the keysyms, Find, Select and Remove. I'm not sure what they do, but there surely is some reason for these default mappings. And why does the DOS way == the Right Thing ? Personally I would hate having to lift my fingers from their home-row positions to do things like this. I use a vi-style bash prompt (set -o vi) for this very reason (and have remapped escape to the capslock key also). > Shit, it's hard to take that doskey would out-function bash in _any_ > respects. Heh. It doesn't even come close. If you want those keys to do that, then you can configure them to do so local to bash's readline, or globally, or whatever. > kinda mental block about it and can't believe it doesn't bug > everyone else and at least one person enough to have fixed it.

If so, then this would explain your consternation. -- Scott -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
