rlwrap is not the problem. Running 'cmd.exe' within rxvt is not possible; cmd.exe expects direct access to the console host (csrss on WinVista-; conhost.exe on Win7+). That is, it expects that functions like those listed here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682073%28v=vs.85%29.aspx such as ReadConsoleInput or WriteConsoleOutput will work. rxvt is not what windows expects as a console host. It is a terminal emulator, and basically communicates with the inferior (bash, etc) via stdio pipes, and unix-style signals. rxvt + cmd.exe won't work. -- Chuck -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
