Wow, you have allot of Cygwin stuff installed considering that you only
want to use 'whois'. That's not a problem though. I was just
surprised to see the *long* list of packages given this statement.
>After the whois I am noticing that the console stops receiving keyboard input. I click the title bar minimize other open windows and it starts to receive keyboard input again. And I can do ctrl-D which is what I want to do after whois. Namely I want to logout. This is the ONLY application I have installed in Windows 2000 that does this. The ONLY one.

I guess I need to see your 'cygwin.bat' contents and your invocation of
'whois'. So far, I see nothing wrong and I cannot reproduce your problems
on this end.
