terminal behavior change



Hi,

Please take a look at the following lines:

"\M-[A":history-search-backward
"\M-[B":history-search-forward
"\M-[C":forward-char
"\M-[D":backward-char

I don't exactly remember where I found these, but I have been using them for
quite a while. They go into /etc/inputrc and add a very nice feature to
terminal windows. You type a few letters from a previously entered command
and press the up/down keys. This will cycle through the command history but
only display the commands that match the string you entered. It makes
repeating commands a lot faster and easier.
My problem is that they worked wonderfully in FC3/FC4 but no longer do in
FC5. Anyone have any clue why?

TIA,
Gabor Walter
