Re: xterm for win32

	I dont know if it's this way on NT or not, but, using cut and paste in
a bash window, I can copy ( cut is probably the wrong term anyway )
without problems ( no surprise there ) however pasting into a bash
window causes it to stop responding.... apparently pasting into the "DOS
Box" uses a message which BASH ( or the readline librbary?? ) doesn't
handle. I would have thought that maybe windows would just "echo" the
keyboard input to it, however this doesn't seem to be the case......

	Also, I would like to know if anyone has attempted to make a "true"
working xterm, ie.. one that would work as an X client, to be used
across the network. I tried however I couldn't find a work around for
the lack of pty support in cygwin.dll..... hopefully Cygnus is
considering this in a future release????
