Sorry for the late reply but thanks for the information. Was wondering 
why the ct cmd prompts don't appear in rxvt until after I hit return, 
then it's too late (but defaults have been OK so far).

Just thought I would add that I have no problem using gvim as editor 
when doing "ct edcs" command in cygwin. However, I realize this violates 
the purity of a console only implementation :).
