Sorry for posting this message on a newsgroup that is set up for bug
reporting but I didn't know where else to post.

I use tcsh and have my arrow keys set to do the expected things.  I
just started using bash and I tried getting the same behaviour.  I
tried the following .inputrc:

M-O: prefix-meta
M-A: previous-history
M-B: next-history
M-C: forward-char
M-D: backward-char


as well as :

M-OA: previous-history
M-OB: next-history
etc.

and 

M-O-A: previous-history

and every other combination I could think of.  The weird thing is that
if I type ESC-O-A manually, I get the behaviour I want.  If I hit the
up-arrow key, I get an A inserted into the line.  Is there a way to
get the desired behaviour?  (bash-1.03, bison, gcc, sun3, vt100
terminal).

Also, can user defined functions be bound to keys?  Finally, can key
bindings be changed on the fly rather than by changing .inputrc and
then starting up a new bash?

Thanks for you help.
