DJ figured it out. The loss of cursor has been a problem with cygwin for some time. I probably aggravated the problem when I changed console input to be more UNIX-like, allowing CTRL-D to terminate input, and getting stty commands to work. When you type a bunch of characters, the cursor disappears for a time. I saw this on Windows 2K under ash. I was specifically looking for this because I was going to investigate a readline alternative, myself. Of course, fixing readline doesn't solve the problem for programs that don't use readline. DJ's patch seemed to be the most generic fix for the problem. Of course, I'm not seeing any irritating cursor behavior, either. cgf >win2k pro, two machines > >Rob >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Earnie Boyd" >To: >Sent: Friday, July 28, 2000 11:26 PM >Subject: Re: Couple of nits about Cygwin > > >> --- Chris Faylor wrote: >> -8<- >> > >> > Unfortunately, I can. >> > >> >> Are you sure you're using ash for sh?
