That seems to be false, as evidenced by the native Windows build of Emacs running on the "Command Prompt" console with the -nw switch. Typing "C-h l" after several backspaces shows that Windows sends <backspace> to the application, not C-h. However, I'm not a Cygwin user, so perhaps the "Command Prompt" window is significantly different from what you call "Cygwin console". Apologies if so. -- 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/
