redraw-current-line from a shell script?

2006-10-09 Thread Maximillian Murphy
Dear All, Bash has a function called redraw-current-line. It's listed in the core html documentation along with instructions of how to set up a key binding to it. My question is: How can I execute it from within a script, preferably without monkeying about with the user's key bindings?
