Thanks for the additional tips Larry and Steve.

I was (being silly and) using a shortcut I created for bash.exe rather than
the start menu item.  I created a new shortcut to cygnus.bat and now I'm
running great with no Ctrl-C problems.

Thank you all _very_ much.

cygwin.bat is the file launched when you go to the cygwin memu.

Everyone else seems to get rid of the ^C problem in the way Richard
suggests. I suggest you try it again. Check the value of CYGWIN in
bash. Try setting it in autoexec.bat or system environment variables
if you run NT.

It is important to kill all cygwin applications so the cygwin.dll gets
unloaded. CYGWIN is only examined the first time cygwin.dll is loaded.

I don't know whether Richard's suggestion will make a difference for you 
or not but if you don't know how the cygnus.bat file is used, its very 
likely (or so it seems to me) that you didn't use it when you started 
the new bash window.  Just to check, find cygnis.bat on your system, get
out of ALL bash shells that are running (and any other Cygwin app) and
then start Cygnus.bat (either by clicking on it or running it from a
DOS box).  Try the stuff that way.  If it works, you may want to move 
this setting into your environment (autoexec.bat on 9x, control panel
on NT) so that you always see the effect no matter how you start bash.
If not, no harm done!;-)

Thanks for the response Richard.  

I didn't have the line you recommended in my cygnus.bat, so I added it.  I
don't know how/when the cygnus.bat is called so I brought up a new bash
shell.  However, the behavior remains the same (Ctrl-C kills my child
window).

Thanks anyway.

Thanks for the response Richard.  

I didn't have the line you recommended in my cygnus.bat, so I added it.  I
don't know how/when the cygnus.bat is called so I brought up a new bash
shell.  However, the behavior remains the same (Ctrl-C kills my child
window).

Thanks anyway.

make sure, in cygnus.bat, that there are no
double quotes (") in the line:
set CYGWIN=tty notitle

It's what was causing me the same problem, and was also
screwing up ^Z interrupts.
