psql hangs right on starting it

Question

I just installed postgres 9.2 on windows 7. The install went fine. Opening up pgadmin went fine and I added a database called playorm which worked fine. I connected with SQL Workbench to the playorm database which worked.

I then start the command line like so

 ./psql.exe -h localhost -U postgres playorm

It just hangs forever. 5 mintues later and it is still hung. Am I missing something in the command( I also tried -d playorm instead but still hangs). Anyone else have 9.2 working on windows 7?

thanks, Dean

ah, I figured it out. It ONLY hangs in cygwin....dangit, I hate using DOS command prompts.
