I just compiled bash 1.12 on a `uname -a`=SunOS XXXXXX 4.1.1 1 sun4c.
The installation has not been made yet.
I am having some problems with line editing. Here is the
only line in my ~/.inputrc file:
set horizontal-scroll-mode On
The C-O command does not work, although bind -v returns,
among other things,
operate-and-get-next can be found on "\C-o".
When I say that it doesn't work, I mean that the previous
line I'm viewing just stays there, and can still be used as
input to the shell by pressing enter.
Also, hostname completion is the only type of completion that
doesn't work. Here I suspect I didn't do something like
inform the shell about a name server.
I would appreciate some help with these two problems.

I noticed that I can't get a list of files in this case:
bash$ more *.c
I get nothing but a beep no matter how many time I press the
TAB key. In ksh, I can get a list of those files by
pressing ESC =. (Of course, the reason I'm trying bash is
the absence of ksh on the Sun. So, I'm not complaining too
loudly here. :-) ) Also, in the case where there is only one
*.c file in the current directory, TAB doesn't replace *.c
by that file's name (once again, I can get it by typing ESC
ESC in ksh).
Could this be changed? Maybe there's a good reason for not
implementing it that way. Just curious.
Thanks in advance.
