  21    <p>Although the Readline library comes with a set of Emacs-like
  22 keybindings installed by default, it is possible to use a different set
  23 of keybindings.
  24 Any user can customize programs that use Readline by putting
  25 commands in an <dfn>inputrc</dfn> file, conventionally in his home directory.
  26 The name of this
  27 file is taken from the value of the environment variable <code>INPUTRC</code>.  If
  28 that variable is unset, the default is <code>~/.inputrc</code>.
  29
  30    <p>When a program which uses the Readline library starts up, the
  31 init file is read, and the key bindings are set.
  32
  33    <p>In addition, the <code>C-x C-r</code> command re-reads this init file, thus
  34 incorporating any changes that you might have made to it.
