I want to replace the default cygwin bash window with something where I can
have multiple tabs
or tab like features.  I do not know of any command line commando that would
not want this feature
and hope that in the future something else would be provided by default.

It looks like the best combination is "rxvt" and "screen" used together.

So I was able to crate an rxvt.bat file and create a short cut to it (icon
on desktop)
but when it launches it is not the bash shell nor is it a login shell.

When I do $echo $SHELL, I get /bin/sh and when I type $alias, I get nothing
so it has not sourced my environment config files.

How do I create a .bat file that launches rxvt with screen and makes all
future
shells bash and all of them login shell?

 -ls & +ls do nothing.  I have already read the man page on rxvt
 
--- my current rxvt.bat
 @echo off

 C:
 chdir C:\cygwin\bin

 rem bash --login -i -e ./term
 rxvt -e screen
 

 Also when running the screen command I always get some text and then
instructions
 to press the spacebar/or enter.  That is very nice but how is this
surpressed?
 
=>  This gets displayed and is very nice to read but after the 22nd time I
have it memorized and would like to supress it.
