Your OS is uptodate and this indicates that it's Cygwin related. This is what I noticed: Your TERM should be 'cygwin' unless you're using rxvt, but it's 'xterm'. You should update your Cygwin installation - at least Cygwin itself and bash. Best is to update everything. >>> Is there some environment setting I am missing that is causing this problem. >> >> So what is your "environment setting"? echo $CYGWIN > > echo $CYGWIN gives "ntsec". Mine is "binmode codepage:oem glob:ignorecase ntea ntsec smbntsec title tty". Try this or try at least adding tty.
