   * Subject: Issue with rxvt 

About eighteen months ago, running WinME, I used to be able to use RXVT 
under Cygwin; but with the latest version of Cygwin and rxvt et al., it's 
not working -- no matter what I try, the rxvt window comes up, but the 
terminal-control codes don't set colors and such, but show up as backslashed 
code groups. Anyone have something I can try? I have already tried several 
TERM variable settings. 

J.E.B.

After playing with it a good bit, here is my final solution:

1.  A batch file, "cygwin2.bat", located in C:\cygwin

2.  The contents of the batch file as follows:

     @echo off

     C:
     chdir C:\cygwin\bin

     rxvt -bg black -fg white -e bash --login -i

3.  A shortcut to this batch file on my desktop, with the icon changed 
to the cygwin.ico located in C:\cygwin

4.  Great joy, as it all works deliciously!

I am just guessing here, but I might be right (You may check with rxvt 
source code and/or 'man rxvt', I no time and don't use it).

Without '-e bash', rxvt calls the much simpler, scaled-down 'ash' which 
is not able to understand more advanced terminal control escape 
sequences but bash is. And see to it that '- e bash' is always the last 
on command line (if you give rxvt other options, that's how xterm 
behaves I guess rxvt follows that too)

Glad it helps,
Greg
