If you are using the Windows-native build of the mysql client, then there is no way to fix this. That build of the client expects to have a real Windows console which mintty and rxvt are unable to provide. If there is no mysql package in the Cygwin repository, have you tried to see if Cygwin Ports has a Cygwin-native build which will work for you? -Jeremy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
