Christopher, thanks for the info. If I pass any "/dev/com" to _cygwin_attach_handle_to_fd() it core dumps :-(. What is the significance of the name param. Does it create a device node within the cygwin layer?? Can it be any path?? I am guessing from what you said, that if it is any random path,

Michael, How is the (merely) potential conflict between the output of Danny's compilation ("test.exe") going to lead "gcc" to produce an "Invalid argument" error? Especially when the assembler runs (or would run) before "test.exe" gets written? Also note that "test" is a shell built-in both in

Hi Randall, Thanks once again and in response to your question as to why I am trying to chang TERM, it is because I need it to generate \EOP for pressing f1 and \EOQ for pressing f2. This is the reason why I got into this. These key sequences are what is produced when I use other telnet clients

Thank you both for the explanations. The differnece between a "terminal" (as in cygwin console) and a "terminal emulator" (as in hyperterm) finally clicked for me. I am interfacing (using telnet) to an application that expects an ansi terminal and this is just not possible with the cygwin console.
