You are right. The tty is not the problem. Turns out Randy was completely correct in that the problem was with the TERM setting. I just put it back to rxvt and the problem came back. Took it out - problem went away. All the while tty is set in the Registry. So it does seem that the TERM setting is the determiner. I must be losing it - I "thought" I had closed all open cmd windows and opened a new one after updating the .profile - but - alas - that probably is not what actually happened.

(Of course, it did show that other problem discussed around here, in that after I exited vim, bash was left in a no-echo mode..) -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ "WellChoice, Inc." made the following annotations on 06/10/2003 02:06:57 PM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Attention!
