bash 0.99 doesn't correctly deal with ^ as a word designator.  This
fixes the problem:

*** history.c.dist      Tue Jun 13 11:06:56 1989
--- history.c   Tue Jun 13 11:35:04 1989
***************
*** 985,990 ****
--- 985,991 ----

   get_last:
    if (spec[i] == '^') {
+     i++;
      last = 1;
      goto get_args;
    }

It would be nice if the key binding mechanism was able to cope with
the escape sequences generated by arrow keys.

The patches I posted added this capability.  I talked to Brian about it, and
they might be in 1.00, though the way I did it isn't really "right" (I should
have used indirected keymaps to allow binding to multi-character strings,
but took the easy way out.  Hey, it works for me.).
