The -ls tells rxvt to treat it as a login shell. All the rest is just for looks. That didn't work. My environment variables might be messed up. When I call the regular cygwin bash prompt from a batch file, I have the following in the batch file: C:\Cygwin\bin\bash --rcfile /cygdrive/h/.bashrc -i That explicitly tells bash to source my .bashrc. Does rxvt have anything like that? _________________________________________________________________Get your FREE Budweiser E-mail account at http://budweiser.com Budweiser E-Mail must be used responsibly and only is for consumers 21 years of age and older!
