Could it be a missing backslash or caret in your /etc/inputrc? A mis-quoted section of your bash initialization files? It sounds almost as if bash is set to interpret "h" as "delete-next-character" (something that people sometimes want the delete key to do; I can see how on a poorly thought-out installation, one might want Control-h to do this). See if "h" does indeed behave this way by typing some stuff, backing up, and seeing if you can delete things with "h". To track down the problem, I'd suggest doing: (at the bash prompt) bind -p | less and inside less search for "h" (less doesn't use readline, so it shouldn't be affected by the weird-h stuff). Then, I guess I'd look at /etc/inputrc, ~/.inputrc, and the various bash initialization files for anything that might be causing this. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
