If so, this is how I went about it. If not, I'm not quite sure the same technique would work... since I've not tried the X-enabled rxvt yet. Open Windows Explorer, right mouse click and drag rxvt.exe onto the desktop. Select "Create Shortcut Here". Rename it to "rxvt" if desired (right mouse click | Rename). Right click, Properties. Change the shortcut to: C:\cygwin\local\bin\rxvt.exe -sl 9999 -e bash --login change the "Start In" directory to your home directory (c:\home\tnoble is mine) or set it to c:\cygwin\bin. Doesn't really matter really, it's a personal preference thing.

I tried substituting rxvt for bash in cygwin.bat but always get a redundant cygwin window as well as an rxvt term. Although the cygwin window can be dismissed its appearance is confusing and messy. I tried the command as rxvt and bash -c rxvt with the same results. thanks, tom. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
