* ~/.inputrc works. /etc/inputrc doesn't. Why?
* Is there documentation for this? Specific to Cygwin? Or,
   not necessary due to complete compatibility. Does
   terminfo, play a role, here?
* How does one go about writing documentation for Cygwin?
   I'm interested.
* What are the names of the forward and backward word  keys
   in 'bash', and how do I set them to <CTRL-right-arrow> and
   <CTRL-left-arrow>. (I have the environment variable,
   'EDITOR', set to 'TextPad".)
