Is his suggestion correct? If so, I will need to update the Cygwin/XFree86 FAQ.
Thanks,
Harold

Hi!
I am not an expert on bash and sh but I could only make the cygwin-sfree-fax topic 4.7 and 4.8 work with sh, not bash, so I assume it should be corrected as suggested in my mail below?
Best regards Arne Hårseth

Arne,
Can you send this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Your suggestion seems correct, but I would like other people to see it and add their thoughts.
Thanks for contributing,

Hi!
I see that you have the last revision of the Cygwin/XFree86 Frequently
Asked
Questions so I take the chance on sending this to you. Hope it is OK?
I think there is a bug in
http://xfree86.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-xfree-faq.html#q-bash-extended-cha
rs. The description in 4.7 and 4.8 is said to cover bash but it actually only works for sh. With bash you need to make a .bashrc instead of inputrc containing something like this:
if test "$PS1" then PS1='\h(\u) \W \!\$ ' bind \ 'set meta-flag on' \ 'set convert-meta off' \ 'set output-meta on' \ 'set show-all-if-ambiguous on' \ 'set expand-tilde on' fi
This also adds a nice prompt.
