First of all, I'd just like to take a moment to say "rxvt ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!" I had no idea it existed in Cygwin, and it is SOOO much nicer than the DOS window running bash, particularly for being able to copy mult-line commands (which requires copying one screen line at a time in a DOS window). Secondly, the ugly black DOS window does come up momentarily on W2k also. But I barely noticed it until I read your mail. And I lost the original mail that had the command that used "run" and "cmd" so I couldn't try that out to see what happens. But the black window doesn't bother me in the least; I'm quite content. -Sandeep Axel Boldt wrote: >Randall R Schulz <rrschulz AT cris DOT com> said: > >Randall> I can see no reason to involve CMD or COMMAND or to use RUN >Randall> in the process of getting a Cygwin shell going.
