Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2002 08:44:00 -0000 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" X-SW-Source: 2002-09/txt/msg00934.txt.bz2 You sort of helped me by inspiring me to look more closely how I started my script. I solved the dos box persistence. I used to call my script with: U:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login ~/bin/x50 & But it should have been: U:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login ~/bin/x50 i.e., no & at the end. I do not know why I have put an & there. But cut&paste does not work across rxvts and I have the save version as you have. It seams that for a few fellows, cut&paste does not work while for others it does. cut&paste does work within the same rxvt and in my case, the middle button is used. At home, with WinXP Home, cut&paste works fine across rxvts. At work, with WinNT 4.0, it does not. On another note, I noticed that when shutting down the computer, I am not asked to kill the rxvts zombies running in the background anymore. Remember that even though you would kill all rxvts running, when shutting down the computer, you would be asked to terminate tasks related to rxvt? It seams that this has been fixed. ;) Ciao Hans -----Original Message----- From: Alistair Grant [mailto:alistair@alphalink.com.au] Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 8:13 PM To: cygwin@cygwin.com Cc: Deragon, Hans Subject: Re: rxvt doesn't paste selections anymore? $ rxvt --version Usage v2.7.2 : (XPM,menubar,.Xdefaults) ... $ cygcheck -s ...
