Pierre, and others,

There must be something I am missing. I have tried the following: "set
bell-style none" in a .inputrc file in both the $HOME and / directories.
Upon logging in again, the bell persists.

I have also tried using 'source' on the .inputrc file, and typing the set
command to the shell directly. Also, I have replaced "none" above with
"visible". No luck.

I am sorry to waste bandwidth, but the damn bell is still there! Any ideas?

thanks,
Michael

ps. My $HOME directory is on the D: drive, in case that is relevant. I have
mounted it to /d

The .inputrc file must be unix-style. That fixed it for me.

What Schumann AG means is that .inputrc can't include \r 
EVEN ON TEXT MOUNTED PARTITIONS. That means there is a bug in readline.

Cygnus src/readline/bind.c
*******************************************
  i = read (file, buffer, finfo.st_size);
  close (file);
                                       The error is here:
  if (i != finfo.st_size)      <========================
    return (errno);
********************************************
It should be patched, e.g. to 
  if (i <= 0) 

By curiosity I looked up ftp.gnu.org
The bug is present in versions up to readline-2.2.1 but it 
appears to be fixed in readline-4.0

Pierre

Pierre, and others,

There must be something I am missing. I have tried the following: "set
bell-style none" in a .inputrc file in both the $HOME and / directories.
Upon logging in again, the bell persists.

I have also tried using 'source' on the .inputrc file, and typing the set
command to the shell directly. Also, I have replaced "none" above with
"visible". No luck.

I am sorry to waste bandwidth, but the damn bell is still there! Any ideas?

thanks,
Michael

ps. My $HOME directory is on the D: drive, in case that is relevant. I have
mounted it to /d
