Felipe,

I know that it does work because I use a pretty complicated inputrc file.
Several people offered good advice.  In addition, you might want to make
sure your version was compiled with readline support.  Also, take a look at
the function readline_re_read_init_file().  You can then make changes to
your inputrc and run that function within Octave to update it.  Note,
however, that the function does not take a filename argument.  It loads
whatever the last filename was, so if that is pointing to a non-existent
file and you are modifying a different inputrc file then there will be a
disconnect.  You could hardcode the path in octaverc to point to an inputrc
file just for testing.
