Depending on the version of Windows you have, the command windows behave differently. Win9x command windows are completely retarded, and nothing can be done to save them. Win2k's cmd ones are slightly better, and if your remote machine has the correct definition of the "cygwin" termcap/terminfo entry, they should work. FWIW, I'm not seeing any problems running vi on a RedHat 9.0 machine via ssh from a Win2k cmd window sized 120x40. > I'm using the latest cygwin updates as of today.
