Thanks!  I've been wondering about that for far too long.  :-)


BTW  I read the readline portion of "man bash" and was able to figure
out the "~/.inputrc", "\e", ":", "delete-char" parts, but how did you
figure out that the <Del> key maps to "[3~"?  Searching "man bash" and
"man readline" for "[3~" and subsets didn't seem to do the trick, nor
did "apropos escape" or Google "[3~"...


TIA,

David
