Yes. Look at the attachments I previously sent.

 From a windows 7 "command prompt":

D:\msys64\usr\bin>chcp
Active code page: 437

D:\msys64\usr\bin>printenv | grep TERM
TERM=cygwin

I have no idea why TERM is set to cygwin. It's not something I remember 
intentionally setting. However, it seems likely that TERM=cygwin has 
something to do with mc.exe working correctly in "command prompt" here.

So I did an experiment. In windows 7 "command prompt", I ran "set 
TERM=ansi-nt" and tried running MSYS2 mc.exe program. It started, in 
black and white instead of color, but was mostly unresponsive, no cursor 
keys worked, at least ^O worked, and ^D allowed me to exit. Next, I ran 
"set TERM=cygwin" to revert, and things worked perfectly next time I ran 
mc.exe program.

No. I do have cygwin installed, never use it.

So it seems. All I know is winpty does NOT work correctly in this 
instance, as I previously explained. From mintty / winpty combination, 
the pdcurses program starts, but the cursor keys do not work.
