Events of the mouse?  up/down arrows and control-c are keyboard commands -
I'm not sure I understand.  I just tried running bash via rxvt and the bash
command line history works with my arrow keys.  There's got to be a way to
get rxvt to pass these keysyms to the executed application instead of
handling them locally.  It passes normal keyboard characters to cmd.exe, so
why not ESC, control-C, etc?

Comments welcome.

TIA,
Andrew.
