Yuck.  Why? :)  FWIW, you can run startx (in cygwin) and use a proper
xterm, and save a lot of hastle.  The windows console is next to
useless to me, and I find the fonts are horrible at the sizes I'd
prefer to have them.  Anything comfortable to read is too large.

Yeah, highlight + middle click is so much easier, and works between
xterm and windows even.  You just have to remember to hit ctrl-c to
copy when you're copying from windows (or select it from the menu),
and ctrl-v when you're pasting into windows (or menu).
