To get it working I Is this ssh-ing out of your cygwin box or into it? In either case, the problem is a tty configuration mismatch between where you are (ssh nnnnn) and where you're going (running the shell). Use stty -a to see how your current settings are (look particularly for "erase") and then stty erase NN to set it as you wish (say ^ and ? or perhaps ^ and h). If you always send delete, then you can just put stty erase ^? into your .profile (or .bash_profile or .bashrc or whatever it is if you're coming back into your cygwin box; I haven't figured it out under cygwin yet) and that will force the matter. Another thing that folks sometimes do is whip up a simple script actually named ctrl-h or ctrl-questionmark and put the relevant stty commands in there; when you hit the backspace key at the prompt, you'll either properly try to back up and do nothing or spit out a wonky character, which the shell will interpret when you hit return and away you go :-) I don't recommend it (these things should really be negotiated better, and your term settings should be transparent) but it's a useful kludge. =2E.. % Ideas?
