Re your other message, it's Geordi ;-)

Anyway. Why csh? I can't tell you what the options would be for that.. 
You'd have to check the man page

As for the command I gave you not working from a command prompt - it 
does, as long as you are in your cygwin bin directory.. Otherwise, in a 
batch file, yes you will need to prepend rxvt with C:\cygwin\bin\ , or 
whatever the path to the executable is.
The same applies to if you just make a shortcut for it..
See the default cygwin.bat for reference.

never be. Yes, an eye is upon you, an eye ready to blink. So face
forward, with arms wide open and mind reeling. Your future has
arrived... Are you ready to go?
