RE: launching xterm

[REBILLAT JEAN <JEAN dot REBILLAT at lanceurs dot aeromatra dot com>]

Okay. I find a way to make it, finally. I made a shortcut, with the
following target :

C:\Cygwin\bin\bash.exe -c "nohup /bin/bash -c ""/bin/bash -c 'xterm  -sb -sl
2048 -font 7x13bold -sb -e /bin/tcsh.termcap'&""&"

This make my xterm appear starting tcsh and close the Dos command window.
Making the dos command start iconified eliminates completely any disturbing
black window.

That is because it is a Cygwin application, not a win32 native.
Therefore it needs to open a console if you do not start it from bash shell.
