Did you set the environment variables before calling the shell ?
I put all the variables in system so that I can use any b19 compiled tools
without calling the *.bat file. The following command runs well when
keyed-in from start/run...
xterm -e bash -login
In fact, you might want to try rxvt which provides color by the following
command
rxvt -e bash -login
Hope this will help.
