I will try to reproduce this on a Windows PC tonight. Please give
more information:
1) Which version of Windows? Is it XP or Vista? Which service pack?
2) Which keyboard setting (english/US, or ...)?
3) Are you executing it from a Windows console, Cygwin console, or
MSYS console?
4) Can you send me a transcript (cut&pasted) or a screenshot of your
screen?
