Yes, on Cygwin 1.7, I've since fixed that.

Now, mouse wheel stuff works fine. Thanks.

However, while <HOME> works, <END> generates:

   ESCOF

on the bottom command line and doesn't change the rest of the
screen. If I then type <Ctrl>-C (required to allow keyboard input
to be accepted, at all, at this point), and then, <END>, and
<HOME> both work.

So, we're not out of the woulds [sic] yet. ;-)

No. AOK.

$LESS is null; no aliases.

Thanks, again, so far. ;-)
