It is tricky to get >right for Cygwin. So, I did go ahead and implement this in Cygwin by switching console buffers. It works great in a cmd window but not at all in a TCMD window. I have used jpsoftware products for longer than I've been working on Cygwin so that's personally a bad bug for me. I'm trying to file a bug report but I wonder if this will cause a problem for other console programs if it doesn't work for a popular commercial product. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
