If not try export TERM=linux or export TERM=ansi TERM=linux works great for me. >2. Is chance to make bash faster? I unset MAILCHECK but it's > still slow. When I press right arrow key bash will print [D, What exactly do you mean? Are there pauses or is it just incredibly slow? BTW: cygwin32 itself is a bit slow because of the emulation layer sitting behind every little call. But it shouldn't be more than a slight delay sometimes. > (it's esc sequention for right key).

For me this looks like this: set meta-flag on set convert-meta off set output-meta on "\e[3~": delete-char "\e[4~": end-of-line You will need an /etc/passwd with homedir entries and HOME set to your homedir. You could also try to set CYGWIN32=tty in cygnus.bat. But perhaps your problem already gets solved by setting TERM=linux. -- bye, Michael - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
