Eric,
Basically, when using VI as the command line editor the [ESC] puts theline into command mode (just like pressing [ESC] within VI) then the /says search (again it's the same command within VI) for whatever youtype next.  So, "/ls" would return the latest command line thatincluded the letters "ls" and i can then press "n" to get the nextoccurrence and "N" to move the opposite direction through the history,it's quite handy.
Here is my PS1:
 echo $PS1\[\e]61;\u@\H\007\]\u@\H \W>
Here is my .inputrc (i've tried commenting out the whole thing,commenting out sections and uncommenting sections, nothing seems tomake a difference except emacs/vi):
