It is supposed to work. That said I don't use X myself, so haven't explicitly tested this.Using xterm does require that the x server is already running before xterm is invoked. What happens if you run the following command from a cmd prompt: xterm -e /bin/bash -l
The latter command works fine if I type it from an xterm, but it doesn't work if I type it from a bash CMD window. (Nothing happens). I am always running the X server. Thanks for your help! I attached cygcheck -svr if that is relevant.
Incidentally, in attempting to write this message, I found out that any message with "xterm" in the subject line is getting bounced from the list.
