Ok here are more clues and I think this should help you:
1. From the command prompt from windows, I tried this
- od -tx1 <ENTER>
- "<ENTER> (Note: I have to type double quotes twice always and I
get two double quotes. I
use backspace to remove one every time. A single
double quotes produces no output on
the screen )
-<CTRL-D>
-------------BEGIN------------
0000000 22 0a
0000002
-------------END------------
2.From xterm
Now I cannot get to type the double quotes at all. Also within vi in
xterm.
From windows command prompt, the double quotes gets printed as explained
in 1 above (have to type it twice to get 2 "s , use backspace to delete one
to finally get 1 " , as explained above. )
I closed everything and launched xterm again and still I cant get to type
the " in xterm or vi within xterm.
Hope these inputs help you
