Hi, about gobbledegook
Looking into imports of cygwin's shot.exe I can see "cygncursesw-10.dll".
Does that mean it is "using a package which knows how to send them"?
Checking for environment
$ set | grep TERM
TERM=xterm
Ok?
But sh.exe is using Windows console API instead of writing ANSI to stdout.
What is wrong?
regards
