typing capital T just blinks screen...

I can't seem to enter capital T into my terminal emulator (rxvt windows native).....it just blinks the screen instead. Is this the default behavior? What can I do to change it? Thanks!

Try either removing ~/.inputrc or running it through dos2unix.

Barring that:

Hmmm, at the very bottom of my .inputrc file I had a "TERM=rxvt" entry.
I deleted that and now capital T works as it should...strange...thanks for
pointing me in the right direction!

It sounds like you think .inputrc should contain shell commands.  That
is not how it works.

You might want to take a look at the documentation by typing "info bash"
and then searching for "inputrc".
