Yes, it works great for me too !

   I have still some strange things, but these might well be due to my lack 
of knowledge
of X programs.

   1) The special AltGr key combinations work correctly,
but in a xterm window I am unable to print any accentueted char (é, è or à)
Is this a Xterm feature ?
Probably, as the same chars are dispalyed correctly inside
vi in INSERT mode!

   2) The xterm window that I open with the menu that I get
when pressing on left button while on background behaves differently
from the one started by the startxwin.bat file:
    Arrow keys do not retrieve history of commands and file completion also 
does
not work. I have no idea which option does allow or disable these features...

  3) I write myself program for console mode using termcap escape codes,
these program might be buggy in the sense that the use alternate fonts
but might forget to disable them on exit.
    On other telnet client this does not seem to be a problem,
but under xterm from CygFreeX86 I end up with
chars being changed after I have run this program:

The prompt from bash is changed from:
[muller@demeter compiler]$
into
(Capital A with " on top)muller(paragraph sign)demeter compiler(Capital U 
with " on top)$

All what is inside one () is the explanation of a single char, as I wasn't 
sure that this would be
correctly read by different email clients !


One more positive thing: the mouse for mc works for this version, great!

   Anyway, thanks again for all your efforts !
