You English seems perfectly comprehensible, Andrey. Andrey, you're partly right about mintty. If I use a DOS command line window and directly invoke bash.exe -i, I get all the prompts and iteration count updates. However, the bottleneck then becomes the script command. Even with the -f option, it buffers the text being saved before sending accumulated content to the screen in bursts. Ah well.
