Re: patch to cygwin1.dll

Wayne, I'm not talking about repeating a command (and it's period / dot / "." that does that, not ESC), I'm talking about repeating (while in input mode) the sequence entered the last time you were in input mode. Of course, ESC terminates input mode and takes you back to command mode. Randall

Ralf, Yes. Well, no. Cygpath isn't "chok[ing]." It's operating correctly. It accepts one input name per line when used in filter mode. You can use tr or sed to insert newlines where appropriate, but it's not feasible to have cygpath interpret spaces as separators between input names. Since spa
