Hello
I don't know if anyone has noticed, but it appears that when
CTRL-C is pressed in Nano it is not recognized under Cygwin. Is this
normal behavior under Windows, is the CTRL-C somehow intercepted and
stripped out? I am using WinXP.
As mentioned in the cygwin archives - the CYGWIN enviornment variable
needs to be set to include tty for ctrl-C to work (and some other
things) - See the cygwin users guide for details on the CYGWIN
environment variable. The tty option needs to be set Before you start
cygwin.

Perfect, just added "CYGWIN=tty" to the environment variables and all is
fine. Thanks.
Maybe a dumb question. Why does Cygwin not automatically update
environment variables as part of the installation? Or at least ask if
they should be updated?
