Thanks for your kind response. I found out that if one right click on 
the cygwin console, click on properties and turn on quick edit, syntax 
highlighting everywhere in cygwin comes on. I am looking into your 
suggestions also.
 My new problem with cygwin in windows xp is that when I logon as a 
"named user" cygwin prompt always identify me as administrator, as 
confirmed when I issue: 'whoami". Whereas in my windows 2000, cygwin 
always correctly identify the logon user. Your help in windows xp cygwin 
problem is much appreciated.
