Here is a piece of login source code:
        if (!hflag) {                                   /* XXX */
                static struct winsize win = { 0, 0/*, 0, 0*/ };

                (void)ioctl(0, TIOCSWINSZ, &win);
        }

Login resets the tty window size to 0 if -h option missed (don't ask me
why:-)

Thank you, Robert.

I've done some more fiddling about. Please could you try starting up
using

C:\Cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -geometry 80x58+0+0 -tn cygwin

Do you get a $ prompt and find you are in /usr/bin? Now type man
<something>. Works fine. Response fills page. Navigates fine using arrow
keys.

Then type login <yourusername> at the $ prompt

followed again by man <something>. Now the response starts halfway down
the page and navigation keys throw the user all over the place, with
visible ESC sequences, etc. Either there's something "wrong" with login?
or I need to re-construct my .bash_profile, .bashrc and .inputrc files?
(But why?)

Thank you too to other readers. I am very sorry if it turns out I am
filling the list with what turns out to be a piece of daft local
mismanagement.

Fergus
