Hmm, it seems that my messages aren't getting through since I mentioned how to create such a shortcut just a little while ago, but I'll try one more time... Create a shortcut that starts in the bin directory of your Cygwin installation. Have it run: mintty - That's it as far as I remember. Of course, the easy way is to just run setup.exe again and let it create the shortcut for you. Then you know you have the right settings. > If there is an example of what the desktop shortcut has for the properties, > I can create one to see what mintty looks like.

Mintty doesn't exist under Solaris or Linux, only Cygwin. -Jeremy -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
