This does not seem to be an xterm setup issue. I have confirmed that
running "rm -i <blah>" enables the user to move about the terminal, as
in a text editor as originally stated. (Emphasized since cygwin-xfree
is cc'd)
The same behavior applies to rxvt in stand-alone mode, xterm, and from
the shell launched by running cygwin.bat directly from a cmd prompt.
Exporting the TERM variable in these shells and terminals to either
xterm, xterm-color, rxvt, or cygwin, does not eliminate the problem.
It's not bothersome for me but it certainly is wrong.
Are there any terminal setttings that have to be modified?
Thanks!
Best Regards,
Carlo
