As a result of there not being a sample, my current bat file will not correctly start my Z-shell. Most of the time double-clicking on the shortcut results in the program (CMD) flashing on the screen and going away. When it does manage to stick, it seems to fail to start the zsh login process, i.e., the reading on my .z* startup files. That results in any entered characters being ignored, as there isn't a prompt there to accept input. If I start cmd.exe manually, I can then start zsh and have something to work with. At that point, if I run cygwin.bat, (from the shell, not the shortcut) it works. Something in the 1.7 environment is required for rxvt to work correctly, even though rxvt is the same version in both installations (1.5 and 1.7). That or something changed to keep zsh from starting via the bat file using rxvt. If someone would be so kind as to post the contents of the default installed cygwin.bat file, I'd appreciate it. It is the only thing keeping me from getting back to where I was working, before the upgrade. Thanks. MB -- e-mail: vidiot@vidiot.com | vidiot@vidiot.net /~\ The ASCII [I've been to Earth.
