This is unrelated to ``the standard PC keyboard layout''. It's a matter of the shell you're using. The default shell is a plain ol' Berkeley csh, which doesn't support this. Any other shell around does, however. tcsh, ksh and bash (both from the ports) do it by default. The standard /bin/sh (ash -- Almquist Shell) does it after telling ``set -o emacs''. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
