new cygwin window from script?

new cygwin window from script?

[linux dr.]

Sorry if this is a repost... didn't seem to post through nntp.

I'm trying to generate a new cygwin window in XP/2000, from within a tcsh 
script in a current cygwin window.  How do I create a NEW window (as if I 
clicked the cygwin icon on the desktop) as opposed to a new shell within the 
same window?  Running tcsh from the DOS/Windows command line creates a new 
window, as desired.  However, from within cygwin, just creates a new tcsh, not 
a new window.  Can anyone help?  Thanks!

alternatively, add something along the line of this to your .bashrc (
remove or modify the parameters to suit/match your environment).  Then, 
you can call newterm from your script.

alias newterm="rxvt.exe -sr -sl 2500 -name $HOSTNAME:$PWD  -fn \"Courier
    New-16\" -geometry 80x25 -sb -bg midnightblue -e bash --rcfile
/home/rthompso/.bashrc &"
