So, I use "ansi" as an example of an incorrect TERM setting and you set the TERM to ansi. Igor's reply to this message says it all, but I was trying to suggest that you should not be setting the TERM value to anything. You should let cygwin (or rxvt or xterm) do that for you. cgf >cgf wrote: >On Mon, Aug 04, 2003 at 01:08:51PM +1200, stuart gear wrote: >>...if I call up either Vim or Emacs, the cursor is frozen in the top >>left.
