According to jrsyangl on 7/16/2008 8:29 PM:

| the letter p. I have not run through the rest of the alphabet.

And there's your problem.  That is not the proper syntax for a .inputrc
file (it is NOT for shell commands, but for readline commands, which have
an entirely different syntax).  Read 'man readline'.  By starting a line
with 'echo', you tried to define a macro for the key 'e', explaining why
'e' did nothing for you.
