[...] | Man bash shows "COMP_WORDBREAKS" as the relevent variable to set. (Don't | unset it.) See "man bash", and search for "readline". So: | | COMP_WORDBREAKS=$COMP_WORDBREAKS/ | | does it. To have it every time, put that line in ~/.bashrc. Seems to have no effect for me. I'm testing with bash-3.0 on Fedora Core 4. Should I expect this to affect ^W? One reason I prefer zsh is that it will stop ^W at a slash, which I find very useful. -- Cameron Simpson <cs@xxxxxxxxxx> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/ If ye can say 'tis a brrraugh brrrrrit moonlicht nicht tonicht ye're alrrright I ken.
