Is there yet any workaround other than simply using cmd.exe instead? (In mintty, BTW, "cmd /c mysql ..." doesn't prompt, presumably for the same reason that mysql alone doesn't prompt.) -- Tim McDaniel, tmcd@panix.com -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
