Igor,

I run rxvt from a .bat file :-

@echo off

D:
chdir \cygwin\bin
rem set CYGWIN=tty
rem set TERM=cygwin
D:\cygwin\bin\rxvt -ls -fg green -bg black -cr red -sl 1000 -sr -fn 'Lucida
Console-20' -e bash --login -i


...and no matter what I do I can't make the ^C do what I want !

I'm more or less resigned to living with it - thanks for taking the time to
make suggestions.

Duncan.

Duncan,

Come to think of it, it just might.  Are you launching bash from
cygwin.bat?  If so, it is launched with a '--login' option, which will
execute /etc/profile and others.  What are the parameters to the bash that
rxvt launches?  Do you give the '--loginShell' or '-ls' option to rxvt?
Try running 'rxvt -ls -e "bash --login -i"' and see if the behavior
changes.
	Igor
