But you can achieve the same effect by adding "tty" to $CYGWIN, at which point the differences between rxvt and Console really do become a matter of taste and key/mouse button bindings (since with CYGWIN=tty Console will use ptys just like rxvt and xterm). FWIW, my main gripe with Console is that it doesn't understand line wrapping, so cutting and pasting a line that wraps multiple times results in multiple lines. But I constantly run an X server and use xterms instead of rxvt, so I can't speak in favor of either of them. > -- > Paul Graham is right. > --Shriram Krishnamurthi Points on the nice inside joke here, though. :-) Igor -- http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/ |\ _,,,---,,_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ Igor Peshansky, Ph.D. (name changed!) |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' old name: Igor Pechtchanski '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL a.k.a JaguaR-R-R-r-r-r-.-.-.
