"console") or in RXVT. When run in a console, you're at the whims of the OS-specific limitations of those windows. In Weak Windows (Me, '98 and '95), console windows have very limited capabilities in comparison to console windows in NT, 2000 and XP. Thus the recommendation to use RXVT is valid. There is another option--a replacement for the built-in console for Weak Windows systems called "consize." Check it out at CygUtils (): .
