address@hidden XXX FIXME XXX -- need a brief description of the ~/.inputrc file here.
+The octave prompt uses the GNU readline library.  To customize the way
+that the prompt works, i.e. how it searches through the command
+history, edit your @code{~/.inputrc} file.  For documentation on how
+to setup a @code{~/.inputrc} file, see the readline documentation at

address@hidden XXX FIXME XXX -- note about time stamps on files in NFS environments?
+You should note that timestamps on remote machines (i.e. NFS or samba
+shares) may not be the same as timestamps on your own machine, and
+samba shares do not have timestamp guarantees and may cause the
+function to be reloaded every time it is used.
