Yes.

In a cygwin shell (Windows XP), it says /dev/conin.

In shell-mode (NTEmacs on Windows XP), it says

  not a tty

That's interesting.  On another machine (XEmacs on Linux), it says

  /dev/pts/4

About the same thing.  I only get the message

  tcsetattr: Not a typewriter

in shell-mode in NTEmacs.

So, how do I convince shell-mode on NTEmacs that it is a tty?

Thanks.
