I am not sure how to categorise the Terminal except that it is
whatever is default with windows xp; but the commands above all work
with it.

In fact slsh.exe despite being installed was not in my searchpath, but
it is now. I am not sure how to tell if the Makefile can find the
slangshell? Now config.h is generated but not slrnfeat.h. The error
message is:

#v+
C:\slrn_source\slrn\src>mingw32-make -f Makefile.g32
copy slrnconf.h config.h

        1 file(s) copied.

slsh win32/subst.sl win32/slrnfeat.def slrnfeat.hin slrnfeat.h
require is undefined
.\win32\subst.sl:5:<top-level>:Undefined Name

mingw32-make: *** [slrnfeat.h] Error 38
#v-

I presume this points to a problem with my slsh / slang install as
these:

require ("cmdopt");
require ("readascii");

cannot be found. Things are so much easier in Linux :-).
