when I start the cygwin-bash with the cygnus.bat batch file,
I get a cmd.exe-lookalike window where bash is running in.
After typing `bash -i', I of course get a new sub shell in the same
window.
Is it possible to make the sub shell run in its own cmd.exe-like
window? How to do that?
(I know that I can get a new window using rxvt, but that works only on
a machine with an X-server.).

Actually there's a Cygwin rxvt that doesn't depend on an X server. I use it
and it works very nicely.
Check it out at: http://www.io.com/~bub/rxvt.html

The cygnus.bat file should start the bash executable for you.

Yes. Create a shortcut and modify the properties of the shortcut.

You wanna bet. ;^) Check the archives for the location of an rxvt that uses
the native Windows to operate.

Thank you, this solved my Problem!
In case you wonder why I absolutely wanted to do something like this:
I had to customize some pull down menus of the tool SNiFF 3.1 (by
Takefive-software). To customize such a pull down menu, one has to
write a shell script, which will be started in a sub shell from within
the terminal window of SNiFF. SNiFF 3.1 runs a cygwin-bash in it's
terminal-window, but this terminal-window is severely broken. Command
line editing doesn't work and especially if the sub shell needs user
input, the input isn't echoed by the SNiFF terminal. This is very
confusing to the users and it is difficult to type correctly.
Therefore I needed a way to escape from a shell script running in a
sub shell running in the SNiFF terminal emulator into a new terminal
emulator which is not so broken and can accept user input correctly.
Yours sincerly,
Mike Fabian
