Sylvain,

The "BASH" part is the same, whether it runs in a character subsystem 
window (a.k.a. "console") or in RXVT. When run in a console, you're at the 
whims of the OS-specific limitations of those windows. In Weak Windows (Me, 
'98 and '95), console windows have very limited capabilities in comparison 
to console windows in NT, 2000 and XP.

Thus the recommendation to use RXVT is valid. There is another option--a 
replacement for the built-in console for Weak Windows systems called 
"consize." Check it out at CygUtils 
(<http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/>):
