Windows program not accepting keyins

Keyins not accepted by Windows programs on CYGWIN.
Micro Focus Net Express COBOL does not accept responses
to error messages. To illustrate the problem, consider following compile:
cobol car100.cbl,,,,ANIM NOOBJ; <-- sample compile command
=========================
If copybook missing Net Express prompts & Allows
you to enter a response:
FILE BELOW NOT FOUND - Stop/Retry/Continue/Alter-path
custmas.cpy
=====================================================
- But replies are not accepted
- All you can do is ctl Break to kill
- then any replies are displayed by the CYGWIN shell
This may be a CYGWIN problem, since the replies work OK
under the UWIN emulation pkg, BUT other programs work OK
on both UWIN & CYGWIN ??
Above problem demonstrated with manual command
but even worse when running my scripts:
I have described the problem in more detail at:
