Damn it!  Why do so many people insist on making their machines do
unwanted work?  That command: cat /etc/inputrc | grep emacs: it's
far too complicated.  Either be really silly, and use the command:

  cat /etc/inputrc | cat | cat | cat | cat | cat | cat | cat | grep emacs

or use the "proper" command:

  grep emacs /etc/inputrc


That was an unexpected rant.  What I meant to say was: doesn't the
line you quoted suggest a test, not a set?
