That was indeed my mistake, I indeed meant ^H when I said ^J. Anyways, isn't there a terminal type for use with cygwin that will differentiate between BACKSPACE and ^H? I'm surprised that cygwin does not, because every linux/unix system I've used easily distinguished between the two. I didn't see a solution to this specific issue when I followed the link to that post. Thanks. Kevin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
