It is not necessary to create a batch file. Simply right-click on the 'rxvt' binary in Windows Explorer, and then select 'Create Shortcut'. Once you have created a shortcut to 'rxvt', you can then right-click on it, select 'Properties' from the menu, and enter the above information from the batch file into the 'Target' field. Note that you can only do this for the shortcut -- you cannot modify the 'Target' field of the 'rxvt' binary. The shortcut may then be dragged and dropped to your Quick Launch toolbar, your desktop, etc. Also, you may create a '.Xdefaults' text file in your home directory. The Cygwin 'rxvt' will read this initialization file, just as it would in UNIX/Linux. It can be used to set long font names, geometry, colors, etc. See the 'rxvt' manual page for details. See also /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/rxvt-20050409.README, or whatever the appropriate README number is reported by 'cycheck -l rxvt'. -- 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/
