Aaaah my cockpit error :::::-) Bash only checks for the existence of the
user's or individuals' readline initialisation file.

Well I found this out ages ago when I first started playing with bash/unix>
I do have this in my bookmarks that might be of interest:

Erm...Well just write it! ;-) If you mean you want to write about the
differences between vanilla UNIX and Cygwin then there's quite a bit in the
user's guide and the faq, both are linked on the main cygwin homepage
(<http://www.cygwin.com/>). Otherwise, not too sure. Take a look at the
docs/howto's that come with cygwin packages in the /usr/doc/Cygwin
directory.

Do you mean you want to perform an action when you do a C+Right-Arrow? That
can be done in the ~/.inputrc file. You should be able to find out more in
that link above.
