I'm running Win98SE with UK keyboard, using the latest cygwin, and I have
the same problem - the pipe symbol is not working in bash. This is really
inconvenient, of course. 

I've previously used B20.1 on another machine under Win95 SR2, also with UK
keyboard settings, and the pipe symbol worked fine there.

With the latest cygwin (11 September?) on a laptop under WinNT Sp4, with UK
keyboard, pipe symbol works.

I have the latest version of cygwin installed on my home PC and on a
laptop and b20.1 (upgrade pending) on a PC at work. All of these have UK
keyboards and have the same three lines in the autoexec.bat file. On all
three machines the | character works just fine. Sorry Sagar but the
cause of your problem is not the UK keyboard.
All of these three machines are running W95b.
