I am doing the rute first and I am running into some seemingly minor but annoying problems.

In the test:

1. it says:
Alt-Ctrl-f
Erase forward one word.
Alt-Ctrl-b
Erase backward one word.
http://rute.2038bug.com/node5.html.gz
But that's not working for me. What's going on?

2. it says:
“The Ctrl-PgUp and Ctrl-PgDn keys scroll the console, which is very useful for seeing text that has disappeared off the top of the terminal”
http://rute.2038bug.com/node5.html.gz
But that's not working for me. What's going on?

3. it says:
“All GNU commands take the additional arguments -h and --help.”
http://rute.2038bug.com/node5.html.gz
Not working for me.

Commendable.

(..) But that's not working for me.

Code:

# Check how your shell mapped keys by default:
bind -v|grep keymap
# Find some key combos:
bind -p|grep -v ^#|egrep 'word|char|dele|kill'

Try SHFT-PGUP?

Guesses:
- upstream doesn't see GNU --longopts as valid,
- the binary doesn't accept args because it is a daemon that goes to the background on initialization,
- the binary isn't supposed to be called with with "-h" or "--help" because no amount of help can save you. Abandon all hope.
*There's only so much times you can say "Not working for me" w/o having to give an example and this clearly was one too many ;-p

I do not understand your above post, unSpawn but I have put this research work on hold since I didn't get much response when I posted it. Perhaps I'll return to it later. Thank you though.

...hence the NTLB.

When and if you do try to explain what it is you don't understand. The commands given were easily readable and so should the output be or so I'd think.
