Hello,

Thank you for all the answers to my original request below. This was very i=
nstructive.
In conclusion:
- to get middle-mouse paste of the selection with Mintty, Options/Mouse/cop=
y on select had to be checked, which is not the default.
- Mintty behaves much better than the other consoles (rxvt, DOS, putty) whe=
n using vim on a ssh connection
 . Mouse selection works (it does not with DOS)
 . The keys CTRL-Home/End, Ctrl-PageUp/Down, Ctrl-Up/Down are recognized (w=
ithout requiring mapping of the escape sequences).
- It seems that Monospace font is not available with non-X11 applications. =
Now my question is:

How to launch an xterm window with Monospace font ?

Typing xterm -fn "Monospace" gives an error message.

Best regards,

Jean Johner

I don't know the answer to your question, but have you tried using
mintty instead of rxvt?  Mintty has an options dialog which includes a
font chooser, and is better all around than rxvt.
