I'm always surprised at how many people recommened using rxvt. I use it once in a while, but there's just too many things I do don't work right unless I'm using the regular Win32 console. Output is delayed until the process exits, input is ignored, etc., etc. Cary -- 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/
