With some tinkering, I found that I could cure the lack of keyboard echo at the console by putting the environment variable "CYGWIN=tty" in cygwin.bat. But: after doing that, I was experiencing the incredibly long delays before I got a bash prompt back. Having seen this mentioned, I searched the archives, and found the advice about "notty." This seemed to work, but then (as I recall), I again lost the keyboard echo. Checking CYGWIN from within bash, it echoed as "tty" instead of "notty." Horrors. Somehow, I had let a "CYGWIN=tty" lurk in my .bashrc, in spite of (a) having known I should set this in cygwin.bat for a long time now, and (b) having pruned and remodeled my .bashrc in the process of setting it u to work with either 1.1 or B20 (with the same home directory). After eliminating CYGWIN=tty from my .bashrc while leaving CYGWIN set to notty in cygwin.bat, things seem to be working normally!

I tried runing cygcheck -s -r -v before and after, and ran diff (the latter cygcheck in diff in the blind). The only difference was the time. I've still got B20.1 operational, with different mounts, and it seems to be working OK . (Echo doesn't go away after using less.) Am using the same .bashrc for both.
