Try launching rxvt like this: C:\Cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -e /usr/bin/bash --login -i > And, when I solve it > I will be interested in tips on how to make rxvt look better or other tips > so feel free to mention such things too. Personally, I use .Xdefaults, placed in my home directory, to configure RXVT. Refer to this: http://h30097.www3.hp.com/demos/ossc/man-html/man1/rxvt.1.html Also, try 'man rxvt'. Here's my .Xdefaults as an example: rxvt*font: "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-15" rxvt*geometry: 124x47+0+0 rxvt*background: black rxvt*foreground: white rxvt*scrollBar_right: true rxvt*saveLines: 5000 rxvt*scrollstyle: next rxvt*termName: rxvt rxvt*scrollTtyOutput: false rxvt*scrollWithBuffer: false -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
