A workaround to this is to type : "rm -i foo" followed by Ctrl-J instead of Return Ctrl-J sends a Line-feed, Return is probably mapped on Carriage-Return + Line-feed ; it seems that, at the first entry, bash interprets both CR and LF and as two end of records instead one. This bug also appears when bash encounters a "read" command inside a script. jl Hamel hamel AT republique DOT saclay DOT cea DOT fr - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
