I, also, would welcome any discussion of how rxvt works on Cygwin. I just
recently began using rxvt after a long period of resisting (I invested a
great deal of time and effort into learning how make the native Windows
console work optimally with bash).
the one thing that really pleased me was when i discovered in a marathon
late-night Googling session, with considerable effort to interpret poorly-
written documentation, how to clear the entire rxvt console buffer and go
back to (0,0):
echo -ne '\033c'
thus one can alias:
alias cls="echo -ne '\033c'"
TIA,
Soren A
