It's unfortunate that win32 programs and Cygwin pseudoterminals do not mix well, but there's not a lot of options to improve the situation, short of using Cygwin python. > If you delete c:\cygwin\cygwin.bat and .ico files you can create a > folder/directory called c:\cygwin\cygdrive which makes autocompletion > for /cygdrive very convenient. Personally, I prefer "mount -c /". Then you don't have to worry about completion. But you could also just rename cygwin.bat to something else so that "cyg" completes to cygdrive. I think the .ico is only used for the shortcut so you can rename that too, just edit the shortcut. > However, this means that you need to mung an shortcut/environment (place > cygwin\bin on the system path) that does what cygwin.bat I prefer \cygwin\bin in the system PATH anyway. And I too execute rxvt.exe directly without any batch file. > c:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -geometry 100x59+345+5 -C -rv +ls -sb -sr -st -si > -sk -sl 2000 -sbt 14 -fn -adobe-courier-*-r-normal--1-*-*-*-m-*-*-* -e > bash -login I put these in .Xdefaults, which is still read by rxvt in non-X mode. The equivlant command line that I use is rxvt -geometry 130x60 -bg black -fg gray -cr white -fn "Lucida Console-11" -sr -sl 5000 -j -cr white -tn rxvt -e bash -li I like lucida console a lot but it doesn't have any of the line-drawing characters which is a problem for some programs like mc or pstree. (alias mc="mc -a" takes care of that though.)
