Starting cygwin problem

[Stephen Liu]

Hi Rasjid,

Lot of thanks for your expertise advice.

Now it works.  I create a batch file in "cygwin"directory and a shortcut 
on WinXP desktop to start "cygwin".  It is very convenient.

The remaining question is how to resize "Cygwin/XFree86" window allowing 
WinXP and Linux running side by side.  I have not add "-fullscreen" to 
the batch file.

Thanks again for your assistance.

Stephen
