That didn't work. My environment variables might
be messed up. When I call the regular cygwin bash
prompt from a batch file, I have the following in
the batch file:
C:\Cygwin\bin\bash --rcfile /cygdrive/h/.bashrc -i
That explicitly tells bash to source my .bashrc.
Does rxvt have anything like that?
