Try this: cygstart `which cmd` Maybe I missed your reasoning in an earlier message, but why not use Cygwin-based Telnet and FTP programs? You already have Cygwin installed, so adding two more packages should not be a problem. That way locale and terminal handling would just work without any need to try spawning cmd windows from Mintty. -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
