Hi.

Despite trying hard, I cannot get the 'bash' to work properly with the 
terminal emulation.

The most pressing problem I have is that once the input exceeds one line 
and wraps around, I cannot go back to edit the first line. The problem 
appears using rxvt, xterm and the standard cygwin console alike. Setting 
the TERM variable to either one of xterm, rxvt, cygwin, vt100, or vt102 
does not help.

My system is running the current version of both rxvt and the termcap.

Any hints on how to cure the problem would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

David
