I see what the difference is.  I'm running rxvt-2.7.2-win32 that doesn't need an
X server.

Beautiful.  I now get scrollbars on the RHS when I put "rxvt*scrollBar_right:
true" in my .Xdefaults.

Again, I say: I'm using rxvt-2.6.2. Compiled with cygwin. Running with
XWin32 as my XServer. CYGWIN='tty ntsec binmode'. I can double-click
rxvt.exe (/usr/local/bin/rxvt.exe == D:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\rxvt.exe)
and it pops up with no extra DOS window. I can create a shortcut to
rxvt.exe, and when I start rxvt.exe using that shortcut I do not get an
extra DOS window. I never ever ever get an extra DOS window. In fact, it
doesn't matter whether CYGWIN=tty or CYGWIN=notty.

Sorry, I should've been more clear.  When I start rxvt from a Desktop shortcut,
I get an extra DOS window.  The extra DOS window doesn't occur if CYGWIN doesn't
have "tty".

Not mine. I've got CYGWIN=tty, and I start rxvt directly (without using
'run') and never get a DOS box. Check out
http://cygutils.netpedia.net/V1.1/rxvt-2.6.2/

Now, that is an older version, but you should be able use the patches &
build instructions I've provided at cygutils, with a little elbow
grease, to build a working, no-DOS-box, rxvt-2.7.2.

I'm using the above version too.

I get scrollbars on the right side by using rxvt's '-sr' option.

Yeah, I'm running rxvt-2.7.2.  I'll give it a shot.

Hmmm.  I guess I read the docs wrong or something.

When CYGWIN doesn't have "tty", rxvt will start an xterminal and only an
xterminal.  When CYGWIN=tty, rxvt will start a DOS shell and and xterminal.

I've had good luck putting things in ~/.Xdefaults, at least with Bub's
rxvt-2.7.2-w32c from < http://www.io.com/~bub/rxvt.html >.  You don't
say which rxvt you are using.

Are you sure it's possible?  The man page I have says:

       scrollBar: boolean
              True: enable the scrollbar [default];  option  -sb.
              False:  disable  the  scrollbar;  option +sb.  Note
              that the scrollbar position  (left/right)  and  its
              type    (with/without   arrows)   is   compile-time
              selected.

So it appears you would have to rebuild rxvt to change this.

Am I missing something?  What does the CYGWIN setting have to do with
using 'run'?

rxvt resources

[Noel L Yap]

How would I set the rxvt resources the way I would using app-defaults/Rxvt?

I've tried 'rxvt --scrollBar_right=true' and 'rxvt -scrollBar_right true'.  How
do I get the scrollbar to be on the right side?

Also, is there a way to set CYGWIN=tty without having rxvt startup from a
non-hidden MSDOS shell (ie without using run)?

Thanks,
Noel
