Hello Marco,
It surprises me that the octave-gui command window is not considered a proper terminal, as it apparently has many terminal features.
I confirm that
> system('xterm')
works fine.
I agree that the issue is not critical, because the Octave manual does not guarantee that
> system('bash')
will provide a command prompt.
However I note that it does work in both Linux builds and the native Windows MXE builds (the MXE builds ship with what seems to be a complete version of MSYS2, including bash).
Thanks for your excellent work in maintaining this and several other cygwin packages.
Regards
Jim Phillips
