You're in vi mode. At the bash prompt, type:

	set -o emacs

to switch to emacs mode, which will give you the key mappings you're
used to. You can make this change permanent by adding the line:

	set editing-mode emacs

to your $HOME/.inputrc file.


#ifndef ASBESTOS_SUIT
#define ASBESTOS_SUIT

Alternatively, you could learn to use vi keymappings, as the gods
intended, for as all should know by now, vi is the one true way :-)

#endif /* ASBESTOS_SUIT */
