Trying to guess what you refer to there still seems to be misunderstanding.

There are two distinct xterm sequence to set these within an X server but this is not supported by Windows. -- 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
