Did you restart your Cygwin session? I think that setting only gets
read once at the start of the first Cygwin process.

Oh well. I obviously misdiagnosed the situation, since you'd said the
problem was that output didn't appear. That probably means that
cleartool is using console-specific output functions. 'conin' does not
address that.

Are you getting no output from cleartool at all or is it just that the
prompt that doesn't appear? Any reaction if you enter a command
anyway?
