If you're talking about the console you get with cmd.exe (what you get if you double-click on 'cygwin.bat' to start it from explorer or your desktop for example), then you are squarely in Windows-land, as this has nothing to do with Cygwin (and as such is pretty-much off-topic for this list). But, assuming you are using cmd.exe, you'll want to go to the icon in the top left corner. Bring up the context menu by right mouse clicking on it, select "Properties" and pick the "Layout" tab. What you want is there. If you want this change to be the new default for all future windows, select "Defaults" instead of "Properties" above. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
