Cygwin as an External Tool [message #55051]

I'd like to run my cygwin shell inside the eclipse console as an external
tool. Has anybody succeeded in doing this? I configured 'cygwin.bat' as an
external tool (Run-->External Tool-->External Tools...), and it works to an
extent. I can type commands and view the results, but eclipse captures meta
characters, so <tab> filename completion and command history don't work. Is
there a way to reconfigure the key bindings or force eclipse to treat the
window as a console instead of an editable buffer?

Thanks,
Dave
