Invoking rxvt from a Cygwin Bash shell and then ssh'ing into Debian and customized Slackware gives me the same results as Putty -- e.g. everything works on Debian 3.0 and 3.1, and the customized Slackware is messed up. My preference is still that Cygwin bash ssh work correctly with Debian 3.1, and I believe the problem is with whatever package provides terminal stuff in Debian 3.1. I'll try to find the package and file a bug report. David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
