WFM.  If you're still having trouble figuring it out on your own, you should 
read and follow:

The only relevant questions I can think of at this point are:

  1. What is TERM set to?
  2. What's your console (cmd or rxvt)?

The first one would be answered by the output of 'cygcheck -s -r -v', which 
the "problems" page requests.
