Two problems: (1) This statement doesn't apply to folks who are running the default termi= nal=20 emulation program, mintty. (2) If folks are invoking bash directly from the Windows console, the cmd.e= xe tab=20 is named "Options", at least for Windows 7, which I am running. Perhaps it = was named "Misc" once upon a time. Since the statement doesn't apply to the default (mintty) installation, per= haps the=20 paragraph should simply be deleted. Alternatively, I suggest replacing the = sentence=20 with the following: To set up bash so that cut and paste work properly while running the Windo= ws=20 console program, cmd.exe, click on the "Properties" button of the window, = then on the "Options" tab.
