Igor - it worked perfectly, everything is back to normal. Thanks so much.

After such a good first experience with this list I might be pushing it if 
I ask about another, much less important problem, but I'll try anyway 
since once again I can't find an answer in the FAQ:

I'm running cygwin under win98 and every time I type the double-quote
character in the cygwin shell, the very next character I type will cause a
second double-quote to appear before the character typed, and I'll get a
system beep. I am spared the beep if I type the same character a second
time myself. This happens with a few other non-alphabetic characters as
well (off the top of my head: single quote, backtick, tilde). I've learned
to type these characters twice, followed by the backspace key to get rid
of the one I didn't want, and this way I avoid the irritating beep, but I
guess there is probably a better solution...

Thanks again Igor --Jon Wild
