I know how that goes! :-)

Perhaps. Actually I'm a big advocate of putting options in ~/.Xdefaults
to make the command line for things like rxvt a lot shorter. I already
have loginShell set to true there so the -ls is irrelevent in my situation.
Actually does anybody know how to make this run minimized by default? I
say that because there is that annoying, flashing window that Windows
apparenlty runs cmd in to execute the contents of the command key here.
My workaround for this, WRT shortcuts say on the desktop, is to preceed
this already long command with "cmd /c start /b..." but then set the
shortcut to run minimized. So instead of a large flashing cmd window
there's a momentary blip in the taskbar that is quickly replaced with
the rxvt entry. BTW the /c is equivalent to -c and start's /b option
says don't open a cmd window for this command.
