Re: ls -l | less shows "escape" chars

that looks suspiciously like ANSI (colour) escape codes.
is your terminal setting correct?


$ echo $TERM xterm


hmm, try setting TERM to vt100 or something, as that's quite a simple
terminal type and doesn't do anything fancy other than bold and underline.
of course, if your terminfo/termcap stuff knows about cygwin, you could set
TERM=cygwin instead.

export TERM=vt100 had no effect.

Where is the terminfo/termcap stuff?

Could it be significant that I installed and am using rxvt shell? However, when I use the default cygwin terminal I see the same thing.
