Oh, sorry the information below is what confused me.  However, Gus' b20.1 setup
was in text mode and he now has binmode.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL setup\b15.0\mounts\07
  (default) = `e:'
  unix = `/'
  fbinary = 0x00000000
  fsilent = 0x00000000
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\1.00.000
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/
  (default) = 0x0000000a
  native = `E:\Cygwin'

Gus' problem with not seeing an 'e' when typed could be related to the .inputrc
file.  It must contain UNIX style line endings in order to work correctly and
will only work correctly it it resides on a binary mode mounted directory
without the patch I sent earlier.
