In order to have bash run and use readline, one of the ways this can be done is with a ~/.inputrc file. When I installed debian-Jessie/Sid using the speakup install, no .inputrc file was created anywhere on the system. I verified this using locate before writing this message. What contents in an ~/.inputrc file would be useful to speakup for its operations? If all this problem turns out to be is the fact readline with its edit property isn't running by default this may solve that problem. jude <jdashiel at shellworld.net>
