I am having difficulty trying to use CYGWIN SSH to
connect from Windows NT Client to Windows NT Server
and run only a SHELL environment and NOT a Windows GUI
environment. Any shell will do if it can support my
further requirements, which are to be able:

(1)	to page or browse through text files

(2) to use an edit program to edit text files (and
support the CTRL& functions that the editor
may need)

(3)	to interrupt a long running function

(4)	to run programs that can be run from DOS CMD.EXE


I have the latest (as of 15 Nov 2001) CYQWIN & CYGWIN
SSH installed.

I have been advised to use the �bash� shell and would
be happy to use something else if known to satisfy the
above.

Connection is working fine; (4) is working fine

I can�t get anything to work for (1) to (3).

Can you suggest what can be used to achieve these.

I have already had quite a lot of advice that is
either imprecise or that the advisors haven�t tried
for themselves.

I�ve recently tried �vim� for (1) and (2), but �vim�
just �hangs� when invoked.

�vim� works fine in a local shell shell environment

My current SSH environments is:
