I have sucessfully installed b16 on NT 3.51 with Service Pack 5 added.

There appears however to be a minor conflict between bash and NT when
bash is run in a window set to size 80x40 (using the properties menu).
In fact the problem occurs in a window of any size.

I am starting bash as "sh.exe -login" directly from the Program Manager.
Whenever I open (from an icon) or uncover the window, NT beeps once and
two minus characters (--) are inserted into the bash command line.

Is this a problem, or have I got NT configured incorrectly.
