Any information on how to fix this would be >appreciated. Those patches were not meant to be posted. I was replying to Brian, and didn't notice the cc to gnu-bash-bug. My apologies for any problems it may cause. I'll be more careful in the future. I'll look into the bug though. Also, you can't do a macro bind to nil. It should give you an error for that. If you want to disable a key, do a function bind to nil (i.e. no "macro" keyword). -- Trip Martin KA2LIV night@pawl.rpi.edu Finite state machinist night@uruguay.acm.rpi.edu
