This won't work. When you decompressed the Bash archive, a sample _inputrc
should have come with it. For Bash 1.147, you will find it in your djgpp
tree under 'gnu/bash1147/misc'. For Bash 2.03 beta, you will find it under
'gnu/Bash-2.03/dos/'. Examine it for the bindings you need.

Thanks to the person who ported Bash 1.147, the functionality is already
there. See tminit.c in the DJGPP part of my web site. It's based on the one
included in Bash 2.01.
