Python 2.5.1: Potential Bug in "print"

How to type ascii characters on rxvt or any cygwin terminal

Hi, How do I type ascii characters on my terminal (besides running the cygutils ascii program and doing a cut-and-paste of the corresponding ascii character)? I used to be able to do + combinations on old windows systems. However, the oldest Windows I got now is 2k and XP. Doing the +

What do you think of changing "ls -l" to display symbolic links using POSIX style paths instead of Windows style? When I run "ls -l /etc", the symbolic links are displayed using Windows format ("C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts"). It would be easier to copy and paste the output to a "cd" com
