[snip] > > Please let the list know if this works for you. Igor - it worked perfectly, everything is back to normal. Thanks so much. After such a good first experience with this list I might be pushing it if I ask about another, much less important problem, but I'll try anyway since once again I can't find an answer in the FAQ: I'm running cygwin under win98 and every time I type the double-quote character in the cygwin shell, the very next character I type will cause a second double-quote to appear before the character typed, and I'll get a system beep. I am spared the beep if I type the same character a second time myself. This happens with a few other non-alphabetic characters as well (off the top of my head: single quote, backtick, tilde). I've learned to type these characters twice, followed by the backspace key to get rid of the one I didn't want, and this way I avoid the irritating beep, but I guess there is probably a better solution...
