Subject: Can't get BACKTAB to work
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I have ported a program that uses ncurses from Linux to Cygwin. I had a
problem under Linux and X Windows in that X sent to the program the same
code for TAB and BACKTAB. I fixed it with the following lines in
.Xdefaults:

NXTerm.VT100.Translations:      #override \
        Shift<Key>Tab:  string(\033]I) \n
XTerm.VT100.Translations:       #override \
        Shift<Key>Tab:  string(\033]I) \n

I am now having the exact same trouble with the Cygwin port, but
obviously I can't use the same fix because X isn't there. Any ideas are
much appreciated.
