I was able to do this, but I haven't been able to make a lot of
other changes I would like.  For example, in my .inputrc I added the
line:

set completion-ignore-case on

but file completion still requires that I get the case right.
I have the line:

DEL: delete-char

but it doesn't seem to do anything.  I know that the .inputrc file
is being processed because other changes in the file work (like
turning the bell off).

I would like to be able to use some of the keystrokes used by 4DOS
in bash, especially keys like Delete, Home, and End.

Any help would be very much appreciated.
