I have version 1.1.7 installed. All umlauts display ok with this version.

Don't know, this does not work yet.
IMO you should avoid using umlauts in filenames. This often
causes problems, not only concerning cygwin...

I created a file '.inputrc' in my home directory which contains
the following one line, beginning at row 1:
"\e[3~": delete-char
After restarting bash now, the [Del]-key works perfectly.
>Is there any description or manual how to configure such things?
I found the [Del]-key stuff in the mail archives, for example.

No, we got it, fileutils (ls) 4.0 is different, with new options.
ls --show-control-chars
this is a new one, and with this option it works fine:)
$ ls --show-control-chars

I don't know, if it makes a differenc, but cases should be different in
sight of perl.

I´m using the latest cygwin 1.1.6 for Windows NT 4.0 SP5 and i have installed it with the latest
setup.exe.
What must i do so bash can display correctly the German umlauts like äöüÃÃÃà if they
occur in filenames?
What to do so i can type German umlauts on the bash-command-line?
Another key i wish to work was the 'del'-key: It should delete to right. Backspace correctly deletes
to left.
Is there any description or manual how to configure such things?
Many thanks in advance,
Klaus
