Your up-arrow is probably a character sequence that starts with an Esc (you can verify that by typing a Ctrl+V followed by your up-arrow key and bash will show you something like "^[[A"). So, the issue is that Esc Esc is usually the completion command like pressing Tab. In command position, bash will churn through all your path dirs and then then it will typically ring the bell to tell you that the completion is not unique (hit Esc Esc again to get a list). ..wayne.. -- 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
