Thank you, that works for me, I put this block at the top of my .zshrc: if [ "$TERM" = "cygwin" -o "$TERM" = "dumb" ]; then export RUNNING_IN_CONSOLE=1 export TERM=cygwin fi later I switch on "$RUNNING_IN_CONSOLE" to see if I'm in a real console. -- 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
