I do, and it's the same as it's always been for me: block inverse, not "obscuring" in any way. Soren, do you have whacked-out colors set up or a goofy PS1 or something? I've got this: PS1=$'\\[\\033]0;\\w\\007\n\\033[32m\\]\\u@\\h \\[\\033[33m\\w\\033[0m\\]\n$ ' and that gives me MyLogin@MyComputerName ~ $ _ where "MyLogin@MyComputerName" is green, "~" is a sickly yellow, "$" is black, and the "_" is really a block cursor that's black and inverses the character under it. Screen background is white. Works like a charm, and I believe it's the Cygwin-installed default. -- Gary R. Van Sickle Brewer.
