Re: How can I avoid using a DOS box??

Sorry, no.
An XP cmd box does everything I need. Rxvt doesn't seem to have any way to
let me cut and paste with just the mouse (I only have 2 buttons+scroll

laptop).
On my non laptop 2 button mouse with a scroll, clicking the scroll
button pastes. Also Shift-Button 1 pastes. And I've also added the
following to ~/.inputrc:
# Insert
"\e[2~": paste-from-clipboard
With this Shift-Insert also pastes.
Sounds like you have options to consider.
Plus, the cmd box has the neat feature of being able to pause output
whilst selecting.
Neat?!? You don't know how many times I had to go to a users desk
because he said he was hung only to find out that when trying to bring a
Cygwin DOS oriented window to the top he inadvertantly moved the mouse
selecting a few characters and was waiting for additional output.
Stopping the selection caused a flutter of output!
If you want output to pause so you can select text, typically you type
Control-S. Then type Control-Q to continue.
