Oh yeah, I forgot to mention it was bash.

That makes no sense. A distro has different defaults but it's not the
distro it's the differences?

Two things:
1. I no longer had Mandrakes bashrc or profile files/directorys so I
could not compare them to Ubuntu's, that's why I asked.
Two minutes after I sent the message I realised what I should have got
Google to filter out. When I did that the first hit I found what I was
looking for instead of a million and 3 simply describing the default
that I wanted to change.
2. As I have already indicated, it was not in either of those
files/directory's, the behaviour I wanted to change is set in /etc/inputrc.
