    Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately it doesn't work under
Windows 2000 whether I use command.com, cmd.exe, bash or zsh I can't
see what backspace, Ins, Del, Home, End, PgUp, PgDn or any of the
arrow keys generate. These are the keys between the main keyboard and
the number pad, I think some call these the grey keys.
    I've Gnu cat v5.3.0 which is the latest I've found compiled for
Windows and winbash v0.8.5 again the most recent I've found.
    Other thoughts?
Thanks,
Mike

PS: You deserve an 'Attaboy' for the work you've done on bash and it's
docs.
Thanks,
