Okay, many thanks Larry.

I forgot to mention I was using the MinTTY console.
It works when I use the regular Cygwin console.

    When I run it from the DOS console, it works fine.


In that case, you need to run Cygwin's bash from a console (i.e. use

See the 'tty' option for the CYGWIN environment variable in the Users
Guide for more details:
