Umlauts not working

[Gary]

Hi,

I have two computers with cygwin installed. On one the umlauts
solution in .inputrc works fine (set meta-flag on etc.), but on the
other I still get a pipe-like symbol for an umlaut-u and nothing at
all for umlaut-a and so on (I've also tried putting the meta-flag on
entries in .bashrc but that doesn't work either - should it?). The one
that works has bash 3.1.17(6)-release and the one that doesn't has
3.2.5(8)-release but I don't know if that is significant. What might I
have ballsed up?

TIA,
Gary
