Subject:	tcsh Win2000: command line editing does not work
Mime-Version:	1.0

[Expanded version of previous message.  No reply to the first one.]

I've recently installed cygwin and the cygwin version
of tcsh on a new Windows 2000 computer.  It is a big 
improvement over the older version of tcsh (the one not 
bundled with cygwin).

Everything works well except for command editing.  If I insert
characters, the display overwrites and occasionally shifts right.
The underlying data is correct (i.e., the characters are inserted
into the line).   Command editing works fine with the bash
shell.

For example,

KANE:/home/bbarber> 123456789

if I insert "a" between the 1 and the 2, the "3" is overwritten

KANE:/home/bbarber> 1a2456789
1a23456789: Command not found.

But if I insert "a" between the 5 and the 6, I correctly get

KANE:/home/bbarber>  12345a6789 
12345a6789: Command not found.

It fails to work without any .tcshrc defined.  It also fails to work
on a friends Win2K system.  Unfortunately, it fails to work
most of the time.

I checked stty.  It leaves "echoe" and "echoctl" while bash turns
these off.  "stty -echoe" does not change the flag.

Any ideas?
