RE: All text being echoed in Xterms


Steve,

No ideas here.  I'm guessing it is a problem with xterm.  You can also, I
think, run the latest version of Cygwin's 'rxvt' as an X Client.  Note: rxvt
is including with the Cygwin distribution, not with the Cygwin/XFree86
tarballs.

I'd give rxvt a shot and see what happens.  Report back when finished.

Harold
