some ideas --
1) man bind (as in bash-builtin commands)
2) info rluserman (as in readline user manual)
i've still got some issues with this stuff, too -- console acts
one way, xterm acts another... but once you get your keybindings
in ~/.inputrc set up properly, anything that uses readline should
be consistent (with perl a glaring exception, of course)...
