Of course the above settings were "standard fare" for inetd installs according to setup instructions circa 2000-2001. They may still be - I don't know, haven't looked. Anyhow, do you know offhand if there is still any compelling reason to have tty in the Cygwin environment variable? Thanks again.

There have been termcap and terminfo updates in the past several weeks. Did you install them? Have you looked at you ~/.vimrc file lately to see if there's anything odd there? Perhaps clearing your ~/.viminfo would help? Do you use the "tty" option in your CYGWIN environment variable? I don't, so that could conceivably be a source of the dissimilarity between Vim's behavior on our respective systems. >Of course a simple CTRL-L (lower case L) fixes this. > >I get the same result with the arrow keys. > > >This is nothing new to me, and I've been living with it as long as >I've used cygwin and vim together.
