But, if you type F1 while you are in /bin/sh, you'll see the cursor move
up a line.  That indicates that cygwin is mapping F1 to ^[[A, which is,
AFAICT, incorrect.  It probably *should* be mapping to ^[OP.  And, F2
should be ^[OQ, etc.

I used to have these things memorized from my past life maintaining a text
editor (among other things).
