Everything seems going well. But when I start mc(GNU Midnight Commander 4.5.55) and use arrow keys to move the cursor bar among listed files, strange things occured: When I press down key, a 'B' charactor appears in the prompt line (the line with a '$' at the most left) and cursor bar doesn't move. And when I press up key, a 'A' appears instead. However, I still have some chances (about 1 out of 10 tries) to move the cursor bar successfully. I have tried exporting TERM=linux, but the annoying A/B's still remains. :( If I use the cygwin.bat directly form the start menu and export TERM=linux, mc works very well. I have searched the cygwin mailing list archive using keywords mc and putty, but nothing helpful is found. Anyone had met the same problem here? Any help will be much appreciated. -- Lucifer Hong -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
