The problem is, for me, either rare or intermittent. I believe the point at which you try to interrupt may make a difference. I think interrupting the DNS look-up works pretty well, but I very seldom lose patience that early, or my DNS is pretty quick, or something. It's much more common to have the long delay at the "connecting...", "waiting for...", etc stages, when "z" works much less reliably, if at all. For that matter, is it supposed to? I assumed it was, but that was without benefit of thought or evidence :) ^C causes the display problems cited above, at which point I kill the cygwin session and start over. It happens so infrequently that I just wrote it off to a probable cygwin bug and put up with it. This is dev8 (but the problem has been around for a while) compiled on a (fairly) recent cygwin, w/ nsl_fork and ncurses. > > when something happens only ^C works, while on Linux I'm able > > to use 'z'. -- Michael Warner | Procrastinate now. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | ; To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send "unsubscribe lynx-dev" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
