SSH & Editing in a Basic Shell, etc

["Peter M Boyd" <peter_m_boyd@yahoo.co.uk>]

I am having difficulty trying to use CYGWIN SSH to
connect from Windows NT Client to Windows NT Server
and run only a SHELL environment and NOT a Windows GUI
environment. Any shell will do if it can support my
further requirements, which are to be able:

(1)	to page or browse through text files

(2) to use an edit program to edit text files (and
support the CTRL& functions that the editor
may need)

(3)	to interrupt a long running function

(4)	to run programs that can be run from DOS CMD.EXE


I have the latest (as of 15 Nov 2001) CYQWIN & CYGWIN
SSH installed.

I have been advised to use the ‘bash’ shell and would
be happy to use something else if known to satisfy the
above.

Connection is working fine; (4) is working fine

I canÂ’t get anything to work for (1) to (3).

Can you suggest what can be used to achieve these.

I have already had quite a lot of advice that is
either imprecise or that the advisors havenÂ’t tried
for themselves.

I’ve recently tried ‘vim’ for (1) and (2), but ‘vim’
just “hangs” when invoked.

‘vim’ works fine in a local shell shell environment

My current SSH environments is:
