Pipe key missing (again)

Hi,
I've been looking through the mailing lists trying to find a solution to
the problem of the pipe key doing nothing when using cygwin bash in a DOS
box under Windows 98.
I find that if I add a file
home/cth103/.inputrc
(where cth103 is my user name)
containing
set meta-flag on
set convert-meta off
set output-meta on
the pipe key starts producing a broken pipe character. However, this
appears to be the wrong type of pipe because things like
cat file | grep hello
still don't work.
Is there perhaps some way of redefining the pipe key to produce the
correct character, now that the .inputrc file has made it produce /nearly/
the right thing?
Thanks for any help in advance.
Carl
