This is going to sound strange but, which more are you running?  There is
Windows' own more, and package util-linux's more, which is the one you expe=
cted
but perhaps didn't install.

Does `cat hello.c` work?

Does `less hello.c` work?

The parameter "-o hello" actually produces hello.exe, does that file exist?

`echo $PS1` shows how your prompt is defined, I think I have the default se=
tting
and get this result:

$ echo $PS1
\[\033]0;\w\007 \033[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\] $

If you get anything else that means that you changed it, somewhere in your =
bash
initialization files (.bashrc, .bash_profile, etc.)
