You can twiddle away at bash until you want to return to the calculator (use ^d or exit at the bash prompt). But : try ^e when using the calculator in a rxvt terminal window instead of the bash console, and the whole thing hangs. Using brings up the message "login - not responding" and all that's left to do is End Task. This little calculator is not provided by Cygwin, it just happens to work really well inside Cygwin. I know you will probably say "Not necessarily rxvt's fault : take a look at the calculator first" which is fine. I just thought I'd mention the phenomenon (a) because it might tweak a thought ("I once had this with a command-line application") and (b) because the calculator has been remarkably robust in all its variations (RM DOS, PM DOS, Linux and, except for this feature, so far in Cygwin).
