Well I thought this might be the case. No, I don't understand how Cygwin
handles terminals, and in general I don't understand terminals very well.
So this might end up being more than I can do right now, or it might be a
good way for me to learn about terminals, which I wouldn't mind doing. I'll
start to look into it and see.
Any ideas about resources I could look at, besides The Source? I have
general information about terminal handling in Unix, in Advanced Unix
Programming by Rochkind. I also have some familiarity with terminal usage in
Linux.
