I think my mailer might be goofed... I don't see an option for that.

Thanks, but I'm looking for something like the "--geometry" feature of X. I want several bash windows on my desktop in strategic locations when I double-click a .bat. I'm guessing that a .bat file can contain several calls to bash with the geometry pre-defined. Right now my cygwin.bat file contains: @echo off cd \ C:\Cygwin\bin\bash --rcfile /cygdrive/h/.bashrc -i Is there any way to have the call to bash set geometry? > > Get your FREE Budweiser E-mail account at http://budweiser.com Budweiser > > Is this alluding to a '"free" as in "free beer"' software?
