This happens on win2k

I've seen that with win98 when I rlogin into my linux
machine.

Yes, xterm works fine.  But linux used to work.  I
used
linux because a lot of the time I rlogin into my linux
machine.

I'll try xterm; but I seem to remember having some
kind of problem doing this.  I've been using cygwin
since b18 and keep using/copying the same .tcshrc
file; so setting it to linux could be something that I
did a long time ago that has since been fixed.  Might
even have been a problem on linux.

Sorry for not indicating that this was a win2k
specific
thing.  The win98 incarnation is really ugly.

Thanks for the heads up on xterm,

Bill
