Yes and no.  I actually asked because this morning I didn't have access
to my Windows test box.  Now I have it and the results are indeed odd.
In a cygwin window, edit itself behaves at bit strangely (output
oddities), but cursor routing works fine. In a DOS command box, routing
doesn't work at all indeed. Brltty tries to insert arrow keypresses, but
they unfortunately don't seem to be interpreted by edit...
