This seems similar to the behavior when you are SSH'ed into a remote host and you type a command that starts with '~' (the SSH escape character). Until the SSH client sees the next character it doesn't know whether to process the '~' as a normal input character or to handle a special local command (e.g. "~." disconnects, "~#" lists forwarded connections, etc.). Are you by any chance running a program that behaves this way? -- Fran -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
