Doesn't appear that CRLF is a problem: sed -n l < .inputrc ## C-x C-r to reread this init file$ ## "\\M-S": "TERM=vt200;export TERM; ssh root@fwobsd"$ "\\M-a": "awk 'BEGIN{ print ( )}'"$ "\\M-d": "date +\\"%s\\""$ "\\M-e": "ps wwaux|grep emacsc"$ [...] All newlines..., plus the times I had init files with CRLF there was always some kind of error message. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
