OK how about a command that says start this Windows console mode 
application using whatever it is that will make it happy enough to talk 
to stdin/stdout/stderr (short of starting a new window that is).

Yes I can, however this starts it in another "Windows window" that does 
not easily resize, has crappy copy/paste semantics, colors and fonts. 
IOW all the reasons why I'm running rxvt! What I want is for it to run 
in the rxvt window so that I can have the nicer copy/paste, etc, not 
start a new window.
