that's because I was using other stuff. Just no longer. Moved on to other things and just let it all be.

And I can do ctrl-D which is what I want to do after whois. Namely I want to logout. This is the ONLY application I have installed in Windows 2000 that does this. The ONLY one.

Neither could I before this issue started. In fact I never tried to get this behavior. Just started happening
right out of the blue I double-click it poof. I double click it again fine. Sometimes the console stops accepting
input. Sometimes not.

cygwin.bat:

@echo off
C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin

Set CYGWIN=tty notitle glob

Everything I am sending you is exactly as it is\was before this issue started. I think
maybe you can see why I asked if there was a shelf-life. For that's all I can think of at this point.
I mean I did update my Java Plug-in. I may have added stuff to my classpath. I put in a VRML plugin. I changed my php directory from C:\PHP to C:\PHP4 and am using some extensions now. In fact I've done lot's
of stuff but I know I didn't touch anything in C:\cygwin.
