Hm. And why would this be of interest to the Cygwin list? You're using a 7 year old version of Cygwin and gcc and the gcc you're using wasn't ever distributed with Cygwin from the Cygwin site. That puts it pretty much off-topic for this list. Perhaps the source you got these from will find y

As my subject says. How do I stop my rxvt/bash shell from closing on my W2K computer when I hit ctrl-arrow key. I am used to use this key stroke to jump over words and it has been working fine the last couple of years, however somehow in the newest update it changed to close the shell instead.
