I'm 95% sure that there are other combinations that indeed work better
with rxvt, but frankly I'm too lazy to find out what they are. I
don't use Cygwin Emacs anyway (I use Win32 emacs, with Cygwin's bash,
find, rm, cp, etc.)

Yup. And as far as I know, there's no way to tell the console "please
save the accumulated scrollback into a file". But then I don't think
rxvt can do that either :-)

I almost never run Cygwin X. Years ago when I tried, it was fairly
unstable. I'm sure it's better now, but ... habit.

Funny, I just deleted that entry from my quotes file -- I thought it
was both too obscure, and too sycophantic :-)
