yes - that's what I had been using (no tty or binmode).  Adding them
broke things.

I did it that way.  Reading on the web, I see that it is recommended
to set them globally (from the control panel).  But I read that after
I'd switched back to ncurses, and intend testing that today.

I don't know why you should have to - but the comment in the users guide
about setting it before starting the console window makes me suspect
that there might be some further interaction with the console emulator
than the hooks built into bash.
