Further documentation on console options?

[Nikhil Nair]

Hi,

I've set up Cygwin on XP (now running on a non-admin account) with
CYGWIN=tty.

I've struggled to find documentation on what happens when CYGWIN=tty,
apart from that it's more Unix-compatible.  Is there any?  I'm guessing
that Cygwin is doing some terminal emulation rather than just using
cmd.exe, but wonder if it's possible to make use of key combinations such
as C-rightarrow, C-home etc., or to send nulls (C-@).  Could someone point
me in the right direction?

If CYGWIN=tty isn't flexible enough to do this, my preferred option is to
use a terminal emulator (SecureCRT) running on the same machine; of
course, that involves using telnetd or sshd.  Is there any documentation
on how to get this set up - particularly when using a non-admin account?

Thanks,

Nikhil.
