54.	How do I set the Delete key to delete the char under the cursor in bash?
	ANS:
	Put the following into your ~/.inputrc file
		"\e[1~":beginning-of-line       [HOME KEY]
		"\e[3~":delete-char				[DELETE KEY]
		"\e[4~":end-of-line 			[END KEY]
	(ANS: from Chistopher Woods on the net)

No extra charge for the HOME and END keys!

This is for the text based bash (not an xterm).
