I use bash-in-rxvt, so there's no where else for vim to go! Two ways to do this: 1) set all appropriate environment variables in NT properties window or 95/98 autoexec.bat. Start bash with a shortcut whose target is "X:\FULL\WINDOWS\PATH\rxvt.exe {other options here} -e X:\FULL\WINDOWS\PATH\bash.exe". Either use the rxvt-no-X port from http://www.io.com/~bub/rxvt.html or use an xserver with a "regular" cygwin rxvt.exe. 2) use a Windows Scripting Host -based script, written in javascript or visual basic, to set the appropriate environment variables, and then exec "X:\FULL\WINDOWS\PATH\rxvt.exe {other options here} -e X:\FULL\WINDOWS\PATH\bash.exe" from within that script. See my recent post in the "Console Resizer" thread for an example: http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/cygwin/1999-10/msg00359.html --Chuck Joe Kraska wrote: > > >From a bash window I start rxvt, and the window pops up > just fine.
