As I told you on irc, the TERM environment variable should be set to whatever you're using as a terminal. If that's xterm then it should be xterm. In general, setting it in .bashrc is a bad idea since it should be set automatically by ssh or cygwin. cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
