Hi,

I've been looking through the mailing lists trying to find a solution to
the problem of the pipe key doing nothing when using cygwin bash in a DOS
box under Windows 98.

I find that if I add a file
home/cth103/.inputrc
(where cth103 is my user name)

containing

set meta-flag on
set convert-meta off
set output-meta on

the pipe key starts producing a broken pipe character.  However, this
appears to be the wrong type of pipe because things like

cat file | grep hello

still don't work.

Is there perhaps some way of redefining the pipe key to produce the
correct character, now that the .inputrc file has made it produce /nearly/
the right thing?

Thanks for any help in advance.
Carl
