While I could tee output and look at it later,I would prefer to be able to scroll the screen backward. How can this be done? Also, can I make the cygwin terminal window longer? It seems to refuse my resize requests. This would be a help too.

If you are, right click on the upper left corner of the CMD window, and goto properties. In the properties you can change the buffer length, on mine I have it set to 5000 (yes 5 thousand) lines. This is very handy. Depending on how the interactive program worked (Ansi/terminal handling), this could have various side effects.

You "right click" anywhere in the title bar and select properties. The tab named "Layout" has buffer and window size options. Set buffer size to remember lines that scroll off the screen, window size to set the default height/width you prefer on startup. Also, on the "Options" tab, there are two check boxes, for "Quick Edit" and "Insert", which I prefer to use. The default in Win2000 is to have these checked, on NT 4.0 they are not checked. When you close the properties box, you will be asked whether to apply to the current session only or to the shortcut (or other item) used to start this session. This will affect ONLY this shortcut. You will need to change other shortcuts or startup methods (ie the Start->Run menu) individually. I believe you can also set global Console window properties from the "Control Panel"->Console applet.
