I don't remember exactly what version I was running previously. In the previous version, xterm was functioning normally. I used the default bash settings, which includes a $PS1 prompt variable of: \[\033]0;\w\007 [EMAIL PROTECTED] \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\] $ This displays correctly in the Cygwin console, and displayed correctly under xterm in the previous installation, with color: [EMAIL PROTECTED] directory $ Now that I have upgraded, the console still displays it correctly. But, xterm outputs the escape codes by themselves. I also tried rxvt, and it had the same problem: \[\033]0;\w\007 [EMAIL PROTECTED] \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\] $ I'd also like to note that I haven't been able to use 'screen' with my Cygwin install because it gave me this same problem, even when xterm by itself worked. I've seen this problem crop up before, but new installations made it go away quickly. A second problem is with the cursor keys and backspace. Backspace simply doesn't work. ^H does, but it backspaces over the prompt ($) is I go back too far. The up & down cursor keys scroll my cursor around the screen instead of recalling previous lines. The left & right cursor keys will scroll right past the end of where I have typed, and scroll left over the top of the prompt ($). Any suggestions on how I can resolve this would be greatly appreciated.
