Do not start with a bash process. If you try starting things with
Start -> Run -> c:\Cygwin\bin\rxvt -e /bin/bash
that will start a rxvt terminal which reads ~/.bashrc. If you try
Start -> Run -> c:\Cygwin\bin\rxvt -e /bin/bash --login -i
that will start a rxvt terminal which reads /etc/profile then ~/.bash_profile.
After "rxvt" but before "-e" insert switches for rxvt if you want them, like -bg blue -fg yellow and that sort of thing.
All this assumes you are not running XWin. If you have previously set DISPLAY and have started XWin using start XWin -multiwindow, then you can start a rxvt session as above prefixed with the command "run ".

Hello,
I read the FAQ on "is there an alternative to standard console window?", and pulled the |/usr/doc/Cygwin/rxvt-<ver>.README|. before I emailed.
I did not realise I could call rxvt from windows I thought it had to be called & executed from bash.
Thank you for putting me right. I have tried it ....
Start -> Run -> c:\Cygwin\bin\rxvt -e /bin/bash --login -i
does just what I want
Cheers Dave
:-)
PS have another problem, will post seperate query !
