Thanks Jacques :-)

Yes, this trying to uncover something without knowing what it's called
has proven to be quite interesting :-) The functionality I'm after is
seemingly couched somewhere in the 'readline' function:

http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?readline+3

or hopefully in a key-binding described here:

http://info2html.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/info2html-demo/info2html?(readline.info.gz)Function%2520and%2520Variable%2520Index

For all I know the functionality I have in mind could have been
deprecated, and hopefully after I've read through the docs I'll be
able to post a SOLVED.

Thanks again to everyone for their invaluable insight and assistance,
and have a great day! :-)

Regards,

Stuart
