I seldom use MSYS and its rxvt. I assume rxvt's window isn't a console window, it's a normal "graphics" window that just happens to contain only text, handled by the rxvt application itself. (I.e. it's like xterm etc on X11. A Unix equivalent of console windows would be built-in text-only windows in the X server, or something.) Rxvt itself presumably passes some pipes for stdout/stderr to applications it starts and then shows whatever comes through those pipes. Few end-users have rxvt, though. --tml
