Bash read -e command????

[goldenradium2001]

Help! I'm trying to figure out how to use the read -e command? Can anyone give me an example of how to use it?

I have three different books and Internet resources on it but all they give is a definition but not an implementation of it.

Help!!!!

Thanks in advance.

what do you try?? -----------
when they don't ask you anymore, where they are come from, and they don't tell you anymore, where they go ... you'r getting older !

#!/bin/bash
#read
echo "Enter name:"
read -e
echo $REPLY

Before I do this, I do:

set -o vi

in bash.

Then I execute the script. When I try to do vi editing commands, it doesn't comply.

Thanks.
