In no time at all, I ran into two problems, both of which I've already reported to Cygwin-Support. I've received a non-resolution type response to the 'info' question, but none to the readline problem, so far. I thought I'd see if anyone reading this list might have any ideas. A. "info info" and "info diff" don't work, both yield a directory page which doesn't contain entries for these docs. The long forms "info -f /usr/info/info" and "info -f /usr/info/diff" do work properly. "export INFOPATH="/usr/info:/contrib/info" doesn't help. B. I ran across two problems with text entry into the bash shell. I use "set -o vi" and a simple ".inputrc": # Make Bash 8bit clean set meta-flag on set convert-meta off set output-meta on # Ignore case while completing set completion-ignore-case on At first, I couldn't enter an 's', though I did discover that ctrl-v-s worked. After turning off the "set -o vi" (reverting to emacs) and commenting-out the .inputrc entries, the 's' was accepted and then after putting the .inputrc back the way it was and going back to the "set -o vi" the 's' continued to work okay - so much for diagnosing that problem! However, the second input problem is persistent. Whenever I enter a TAB at the beginning of a line, the bash shell goes off and starts doing... something! I can hear the disk chattering, I can watch files and directories being accessed (though it seems not written to) through the Systems Internals Filemon tool, but I don't have a clue as to what is running. I assume this has something to do with readline, and I've tried digging through the bash manual and the readline docs, but I haven't yet figured out how to further diagnose what's is going on, or how to stop it. Does anyone have any ideas about the info thing, or the magic TAB?
