[nfbcs] Jaws and Cygwin

[Currin, Kevin]

Hello,

First I would like to greet everyone since I am new to the list. My name is Kevin and I am an undergraduate biology major interested in programming.

Second, I apologize if this issue has been answered. I browsed through the prior cygwin-related postings, but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.

I recently started doing research at a bioinformatics lab that analyzes RNA folding. In order to do my part of the research, I have to use a program called RNAfold. The lab PI suggested using cygwin to run the program. However, I ran into a few problems trying to use cygwin. When I open the cygwin terminal, I cannot get jaws (version 12) to read the output of what I type. The only way I can get such information is by pressing insert+b to read the whole window, or by selecting the entire window and pasting it into notepad. It doesn't even seem like the terminal is doing anything when I enter inputs (though I know it is doing something). Does anyone have any suggestions for anything I can do to start to get the terminal to behave more like an actual command line with jaws?

Thanks,

Kevin
