Agreed, regardless of the term, it's the same MSYS shell.  I was
referring to the win32 console, I use cmd as a shorthand for the win32
console, call me lazy.  ;)

Where I'm going with rxvt is that it, in my opinion, is superior to a
win32 console window in that it provides an easier to use interface in
terms of resizing and copying and pasting.  So perhaps a better
explanation would be that it would be nice if mShell could provide
both a console and graphical terminal, leaving it up to the user which
type of terminal they would like to run.

Cheers!

Chris
