If rxvt is used from the login shell outside X11, without XWin

C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -e /bin/bash --login Does this have a special
meaning or is it a bug?
rxvt does not set DISPLAY for me. You must be setting it somewhere
else (Windows environment variables perhaps?)
It does set it for me. And it is RXVT that sets it.
RXVT:
/home/rcampbell> set | grep DISPLAY
DISPLAY=:0
/home/rcampbell>
WINNT console:
/home/rcampbell> set | grep DISPLAY
/home/rcampbell>
Open mouth and insert foot! Mea Cupla! It does for me too. I just failed
to check. I assumed that if DISPLAY was set and I did an rxvt from
within the rxvt that it would only work if DISPLAY was unset or it
pointed to a running X Server. Yet I can rxvt from within an rxvt
without X and get another rxvt.
Sorry I should have checked.
