Thanks very much this! However I still have problem with long commands. 
I start Cygwin with

    ****** cygwin.cmd:
   @echo off
   set chere_invoking=1
   D:\cygwin\bin\bash --login -i

When the command wraps into the next line then I can not edit the 
command any more. Is there something I can do about this?

Kind regards,
Lennart
