This morning I SSH'ed into a remote box, though, and executed Vi; instead of pulling up the editor, though, I got this message:
I don't know what kind of terminal you are on - all I have is 'cygwin'. [Using open mode]
I can run Vi through PuTTY on the same remote computer, but it feels inelegant to have two separate tools that can do the same thing. Is there a way to make Cygwin deliver a different terminal type, or to get the remote machine to understand Cygwin?
things for terminfo.
I've never had this problem, as I almost always use Cygwin via its X server, and get a much more Linux-like environment thereby. I can't really stand to use Cygwin through a Windows command window; too many key combos don't work right for me. Maybe that's fixable, but I'm more comfortable with its X environment by now.
Even though my Cygwin is fairly old, and doesn't have rootless X. Or clipboard translation :-(
