Subject:	rxvt interacts badly with bash line editing
Mime-Version:	1.0

I'm using the version of rxvt from http://www.io.com/~bub/rxvt.html along 
with bash from cygwin release 20.1. It mostly works great.

It has one bad feature. When command lines get long, and bash would 
normally scroll to the right, it drops down to the next line but still 
thinks it is scrolling.

bash line editing works fine in both the Win98 and NT command shells but 
exhibits this irritating property in rxvt.

I'm guessing that I have something set up incorrectly but I can't guess 
what. Can any tell me how to fix this?

My .bashrc has these lines in it:

export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
export PS1='$ '
export HISTFILE=/d/msl/_bash_history
export 
PATH=.:$HOME/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/texmf/miktex/bin:/usr/lo 
cal/netpbm/bin

alias emacs=/usr/local/emacs/bin/runemacs
alias gsview=/usr/local/gstools/gsview/gsview32
alias msword="/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office/winword"

if [ "$COLORTERM" = "rxvt-xpm" ] ; then
          export PS1="\e[34m\]\w\[\e[0m\]> "
          export TERM=linux
          alias ls=ls\ -F\ --color
	 export LS_COLORS="ex=35"
          stty intr ^c susp ^z start ^q stop ^s quit ^\\ erase ^?
fi

My environment variables on NT look like:

CLASSPATH=D:\Program Files\Intel\VTune40;.;
CYGWIN=tty
DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
HOME=d:\msl\gb
include=D:\Program Files\Intel\Compiler4.0\include;D:\PROGRAM
