"bash: $'\r': command not found"; also "e"s nonfunctional and get deleted in bash window

[Richard Haney]

Thanks all for the comments.

It turns out that, by info discovered via using "bash --help" and then `bash -c "help set"', I could simply add `-o igncr' to the login command line in the cygwin.bat file.

That's a lot simpler than using d2u or introducing another editor.
