Re: Strange-Dangerous behaviour in Cygwin

[Angelo Graziosi <Angelo dot Graziosi at roma1 dot infn dot it>]

Not only in xterm but also in standard bash shell.
I have always used xterm and until today I never have discovered those
problems.

What about the fact that when "rm" command (or cp or mv) ask to confirm
something, I can move the (box) cursor along the window as in a Editor?

Thanks
angelo.
