The console isn't limited to 80 columns; that restriction only applied to the DOS-based branch (95/98/ME), not to NT/2K/XP. From the Window menu ( Alt-Space), select Properties, then the Layout tab: there are controls to change the width. > Examples in the help pages work, it's rather useful, ... However, it's not a tty, so trying to use python, wish, gdb, etc interactively doesn't work as expected. Also, rxvt seems to have a roughly 50% chance of crashing every time you try to paste text into it. > anyway, the intaller gives 3 menu items/icons: with no terminal, > with a cmd.exe terminal, and with the MSys terminal. Don't conflate console/rxvt with cmd.exe/bash; either shell can be run in either terminal emulator. If you want a bash option, bash-in-console is somewhat more robust than bash-in-rxvt. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/905#comment:6> GRASS GIS <http://grass.osgeo.org>
