Cygwin now has the 'screen' command available. Once you install it,
you will have the ability to run multiple terminal sessions inside 1
window. I would also suggest using rxvt instead of the default
cmd.exe shell (rxvt does not require X). If you put the following
code in your .screenrc or /etc/screenrc file, you will get a nice bar
on the bottom that acts sort of like tabs:
# Change scrollback to 2000 lines
defscrollback 2000
# status line at the bottom
hardstatus on
hardstatus alwayslastline
hardstatus string "%{.bW}%-w%{.rW}%f%n %t%{-}%+w %=%{..G}[%H %l]
%{..Y} %m/%d %c "
It's not 'true' tabs, but once you know screen, you will be using it
all the time on remote connections as well.
