Why do you insist on piping the output of man to less? It's unnecessary 
as man will use whatever is in PAGER.

There are thousands of them!

Do you have C:\Cygwin\Bin in your Windows System Environment Variable 
PATH? Have you rebooted since you've put it in your PATH?

Yes. rxvt runs $SHELL if present otherwise /bin/sh. Now the real 
question is why isn't export SHELL=/bin/bash in /etc/profile, or, 
rather, why isn't the user's shell preference, specified in /etc/passwd 
taken and exported as SHELL?

I too use X resources for rxvt (though I've named the file ~/.Xdefaults 
not ~/.Xresources). However my shortcut is a little fancier. First, 
assuming that Cygwin's bin directory (e.g. C:\Cygwin\bin) is already in 
the Windows System Environment Variable PATH (which it pretty much needs 
to be, especially if your running inetd, et. al.) and assuming that your 
Windows System32 path is also in your Windows System Environment Varible 
PATH (which is always is) then my shortcut becomes:

cmd /c start /b rxvt -e bash --login -i

"cmd" is the Windows command processer (command on 98 and below). The 
"/c" says run one command. That command is start. The /b tells start to 
start the following command and not to create a window for it. Then 
there's rxvt (found in C:\Cygwin\bin) with -e to run bash (also found in 
C:\Cygwin\bin) with it's normal --login and -i parameters.

This still gives a flashing cmd window so I just change the shortcut to 
start minimized.

Searched the mail list. There were 32 matches for F_SETOWN. None of them 
are appropriate. Some discussed F_SETOWN in the event log and how we can
