Different shells tend to use differently named rc files, which makes

simply says "source ~/.inputrc".
If you got that to work, I'd like to know how? :-)
Sorry, I wasn't paying sufficient attention to the beginning of the
thread, so I missed the point. You can suck in arbitrary files using
the "source" trick, but given what you're trying to do, that doesn't
help.
What would be more useful is a routine to get stuff like "option-f"
into a
format that the Terminal will understand.
Terminal can deal with this sort of thing at some level -- try dragging
a folder in, and you'll get a usable path -- but I'm having trouble
getting "do script" to do the right thing. I wouldn't be surprised to
discover that there's some sort of stupid encoding bug. "do shell
script", of course, works fine -- we fixed that particular problem in
1.8.3.
