Seething over MSYS shell - is it replaceable?

Question

I need a serviceable shell for MSYS. This is my current dilemma:

The default rxvt.exe has a scroll bar and copy and paste, but doesn\'t send control characters or arro

Answer 1

I've not used the msys stuff, but it should be enough to use something other than rxvt and run sh.exe in it. Now, if you're using control characters, you may need to be sure whatever you use supports what you need (i.e. vt100 emulation).

One route might be to use cygwin. I typically run cygwin with a rootless X server, and run xterm on it.. So far it has been very good and I haven't had many issues. I know arrow keys and such work just fine under it.
