I finally broke down and took a look into it. It looks like the ESC c (reset terminal) control works under both RXVT and standard "Command" windows. It resets the scrollbar in addition to clearing the screen. So I just changed my "clear screen" alias to: alias cs='echo -n "\ec"' YMMV, of course. gsw -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
