P.S. Copying from cmd.com picks up rectangular regions, with awkwardly-inserted newlines, while copying from rxvt or xterm picks up continuous text, and understands lines longer than the terminal width. Yet one more reason that I _greatly_ prefer rxvt over Microsoft's brain-dead excuse for a terminal. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
