Can someone explain the "codepage" settings so I can give an accurate explanation in the UG? I don't think I've ever seen an overall explanation of possible values with the advantages and drawbacks of each. (I'm assuming there are drawbacks to codepage:oem or else it would just be turned on.) By the way, we've had several questions about non-us character sets in Cygwin--is this related? I could also add something about that (I think there is already something about the .inputrc settings.) __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
