To me 'console' means a text mode terminal, in that case all you need to do is run the cygwin object that should be on your desktop and you have something like wghat you're after. If you want a 'proper' Unix/Linux terminal then you need rxvt which you may or may not have downloaded with cygwin. -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
