I'm. This is what I get with the latest developmental version, which doesn't include your patch.

The Cygwin binary works fine without the change: 2002-12-18 (2.8.5dev.12) * remove a check in LYMain.c for cygwin's console, which does not work with screen (report by Frederic L W Meunier) -TD Discussion started at: http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month122002/msg00153.html Setting CYGWIN=notty didn't change anything. I even added it to cygwin.bat. A problem I see in the Cygwin binary has been fixed some months ago: 2002-05-28 (2.8.5dev.8) * remove ifdef that disabled home/end keys with Cygwin configuration -DK The fix from Doug is at http://www.flora.org/lynx-dev/html/month042002/msg00155.html -- 0@pervalidus.{net, {dyndns.}org} -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
