[tlug] Bash 4.1 question

["Daniel A. Ramaley" <daniel.ramaley@example.com>]

I'm trying to get control-backspace mapped in bash so that it deletes 
the previous word, like it does in most GUI applications. I've tried 
setting these in .inputrc to no effect:
    "\C-\b": backward-kill-word
    Control-Rubout: backward-kill-word

"bind -P" shows that:
    backward-kill-word can be found on "\e\C-h", "\e\C-?".
Those mean that escape followed by backspace will delete the previous 
word (and i've tried that, and it does indeed work), but i'd really like 
to add control-backspace to that list. Unfortunately, it seems bash 
thinks backspace is really control-h so it is difficult to map an extra 
control onto that.

Any ideas?
