I comment out the bash line and I add the rxvt line and I get the > "guick flash." I do have rxvt installed, so what have I done wrong? :)) Except comenting the bash line and adding rxvt do you modify you cygwin.bat in any other fashion ? Is the chdir line still there ? does it change to the approapriate dir where rxvt.exe is found ? Is cygwin1.dll in this directory - if not is it in your PATH ? What message is printed if you start rxvt.exe from a console window and not from the cygwin.bat ? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
