Here is a piece of login source code:
if (!hflag) { /* XXX */
static struct winsize win = { 0, 0/*, 0, 0*/ };
(void)ioctl(0, TIOCSWINSZ, &win);
}
Login resets the tty window size to 0 if -h option missed (don't ask me
why:-)

Thank you, Robert.
I've done some more fiddling about. Please could you try starting up
using
C:\Cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -geometry 80x58+0+0 -tn cygwin
Do you get a $ prompt and find you are in /usr/bin? Now type man
<something>. Works fine. Response fills page. Navigates fine using arrow
keys.
Then type login <yourusername> at the $ prompt
followed again by man <something>. Now the response starts halfway down
the page and navigation keys throw the user all over the place, with
visible ESC sequences, etc. Either there's something "wrong" with login?
or I need to re-construct my .bash_profile, .bashrc and .inputrc files?
(But why?)
Thank you too to other readers. I am very sorry if it turns out I am
filling the list with what turns out to be a piece of daft local
mismanagement.
Fergus
