@subsection Is there a better alternative to the standard console window?
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Yes!  Use rxvt instead.  It's an optional package in Cygwin Setup.
 | 
			
		||||
You can use it with or without X11.  You can resize it easily by
 | 
			
		||||
dragging an edge or corner.  Copy and paste is easy with the left and
 | 
			
		||||
middle mouse buttons, respectively.  It will honor settings in your
 | 
			
		||||
~/.Xdefaults file, even without X.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Don't invoke as simply ``rxvt'' because that will run /bin/sh (really
 | 
			
		||||
ash) which is not a good interactive shell.  For details see
 |
