Cygwin ttys and ptys are the same thing.
OK how about a command that says start this Windows console mode
application using whatever it is that will make it happy enough to talk
to stdin/stdout/stderr (short of starting a new window that is).
You should be able to start a command in a new console window with
"cygstart" (q.v.).
Yes I can, however this starts it in another "Windows window" that does
not easily resize, has crappy copy/paste semantics, colors and fonts.
IOW all the reasons why I'm running rxvt! What I want is for it to run
in the rxvt window so that I can have the nicer copy/paste, etc, not
start a new window.
