+
+  <para>The <filename>inputrc</filename> file is the configuration file for
+  the Readline library, which provides editing capabilities while the user is
+  entering  a line from the terminal. It works by translating keyboard inputs
+  into specific actions.  Readline is used by Bash and most other shells as
+  well as many other applications.</para>
+
+  <para>Most people do not need user-specific functionality so the command
+  below creates a global <filename>/etc/inputrc</filename> used by everyone who
+  logs in. If you later decide you need to override the defaults on a per-user
+  basis, you can create a <filename>.inputrc</filename> file in the user's home
+  directory with the modified mappings.</para>
+
+  <para>For more information on how to edit the <filename>inputrc</filename>
+  file, see <command>info bash</command> under the <emphasis>Readline Init
+  File</emphasis> section. <command>info readline</command> is also a good
+  source of information.</para>
+
+  <para>Below is a generic global <filename>inputrc</filename> along with comments
+  to explain what the various options do. Note that comments cannot be on the same
+  line as commands. Create the file using the following command:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>cat &gt; /etc/inputrc &lt;&lt; "EOF"
+<literal># Begin /etc/inputrc
