I love using Cygwin; it's a great tool, since I find that manipulating files is much easier for me from the CLI than with a GUI.
This morning I SSH'ed into a remote box, though, and executed Vi; instead of pulling up the editor, though, I got this message: I don't know what kind of terminal you are on - all I have is 'cygwin'. [Using open mode] I can run Vi through PuTTY on the same remote computer, but it feels inelegant to have two separate tools that can do the same thing. Is there a way to make Cygwin deliver a different terminal type, or to get the remote machine to understand Cygwin? -- Sláinte, Richard S.
