Glad to hear this works.  Setting 'tty' in CYGWIN from the control panel
should work as well.  That's the way I do it.  So there's something a
bit fishy there.  But, no matter (for you) I expect.  I am still surprised
that it's dependent on the server you log into, all things considered.
I'm fine with leaving that as a mystery for another day though.
