Actually Randall, I took what he was saying as a correction
to me, and an agreement with you.
I just know what I *can* do with my mouse on this machine,
and it is wonderful. I am sure at this point you have
*wonderful* suggestions of what I *can* do with this
mouse and machine too.

OK, that explains the bevavior of the Cygwin window when I do
not use rxvt. Cool, thanks.
Now, you said:

This is true if I do not use RXVT, it is not true if I do.
With rxvt, I can use the mouse to resize the window, in both

Of course you can say that about a lot of things. Unfortunately, life's

No one is questioning that you can change the properties of a standard
Win32 console window.
What you _cannot_ do, however, is simply drag the window edge and
resize it that way, without resorting to property sheets.
But again, it is a matter of personal preference. If you enjoy using

I know that I can use my mouse to directly resize the rxvt window,
by grabbing and dragging with my mouse. Thats why I like it. Works
beautifully in 98,2000 and

rxvt was WELL worth the price of admission for two reasons (for me)
(1) Having a window that I can resize just about any bloody way I want,
not limited by what Windows wants to give me, with a nice, flexible
scrollbar.
(2) Being easily able to set things up where I could use the left, middle

Chris,
RXVT has it's own distinct advantages and many Cygwin users prefer it.
Initial placement _is_ under user control, if you go to the launching
shortcut's Properties dialog, Layout pane, uncheck "Let system position

Svartsjel,
I like to launch things via Windows shortcuts where ever possible. Windows
shortcuts that target executables have some of the characteristics of
scripts in that you can program not only the executable to invoke, but most
notably its arguments, initial working directory and window siz
Hi,
I'd like to automatically center the rxvt console rather than letting it pop
up in the upper left quarter of my screen, any hints how to influence this?
