Term mode and cygwin bash issues

Term mode and cygwin bash issues

[snikeris]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use cygwin's bash.exe in term-mode.  When I type "M-x
term", emacs prompts me for which program to use.  It defaults to
bash.exe, which is what I want.

However, the resulting shell is all messed up.  If I type 'ls', the
output looks like a staircase:

file one
          file two
                    file three

etc.

Also, there is no prompt.

M-x shell uses the bash correctly however.

I've done some Google searching to no avail.

Any ideas?

These lines just end with a linefeed character, which simply puts the  
text cursor one line below. In DOS lines end with carriage return (CR,  
^M, C-m), i.e., the text cursor returns to the first column, plus  
linefeed (LF, ^J, C-j), i.e., feed a new line for future text output.
