Randall,
The /etc/skel files are contained in the base-files package.
I recall a discussion back in May (a search produced
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-05/msg00212.html> and its follow-ups) to
add sample .bashrc and .inputrc to the base-files package, but I didn't
realize that John hasn't done that yet. Sorry for the misinformation.
In the meantime, an archives search for "settitle" does yield quite a few
relevant matches.
