- I just compiled bash 1.12 on a `uname -a`=SunOS XXXXXX 4.1.1 1 sun4c.
- The installation has not been made yet.
-
- I am having some problems with line editing. Here is the
- only line in my ~/.inputrc file:
- set horizontal-scroll-mode On
-
- The C-O command does not work, although bind -v returns,
- among other things,
-
- operate-and-get-next can be found on "\C-o".
-
- When I say that it doesn't work, I mean that the previous
- line I'm viewing just stays there, and can still be used as
- input to the shell by pressing enter.
-
- Also, hostname completion is the only type of completion that
- doesn't work. Here I suspect I didn't do something like
- inform the shell about a name server.
-
- I would appreciate some help with these two problems.

- I noticed that I can't get a list of files in this case:
-
- bash$ more *.c
-
- I get nothing but a beep no matter how many time I press the
- TAB key. In ksh, I can get a list of those files by
- pressing ESC =. (Of course, the reason I'm trying bash is
- the absence of ksh on the Sun. So, I'm not complaining too
- loudly here. :-) ) Also, in the case where there is only one
- *.c file in the current directory, TAB doesn't replace *.c
- by that file's name (once again, I can get it by typing ESC
- ESC in ksh).
-
- Could this be changed? Maybe there's a good reason for not
- implementing it that way. Just curious.
-
- Thanks in advance.
