I've seen several threads on this list about similar problems, some of which seemed to affect only specific readline-aware applications (e.g. gnupg) and not others. Which makes me curious about the specific types of entries which could have such an effect when altered by the insertion of a CR. My own .inputrc has never gotten more complicated than "set editing-mode vi", so I'm admittedly pretty ignorant of the general realm of inputrc parameters, but seeing an example of one of the offending files might be educational. -- Mark J.
