Yes, previously I started rxvt from a .bat file. I am trying your suggestion. Its too early to say if calling rxvt directly corrects the problem. If your suggestion works, I wonder why DOS would cause a problem. After all, calling an application from a Windows NT 4.0 DOS windows or from a shortcut should not affect the application in any way (then again, we are talking about Microsoft here... ;) ). Thanks. Hans Deragon P.S. Lotus Notes really sucks. Sorry if my email's format is a bit odd.

I have been using rxvt for a long time now and I have yet to see this problem. I can only assume that you are running rxvt from a dos window. If that is the case then I belive your problem is dos not rxvt. Create a short cut to rxvt with the following command line and you will not have any problems. C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -sr -sl 9999 -tn rxvt -ls -e bash --login -i Louis At 01:19 PM 7/31/2001 -0500, you wrote: >Greetings. > > > Actually, the problem does not occur in an editor like vim, but when at > the bash > prompt.
