Andy,
Here are some answers to your questions

1.    My WinXP is English version although I included the East Asia
characters( including Chinese) as regional and language setup.  The original
and preferred language is English.  I have tried removing those East Asia
characters from my Win XP.  But it doesn't help.

2.    The website I downloaded the windows binary was
htt://sourceforge.net/projects/matlinks

3.    Frankly, I did't know what are rxvt and cmd box before.  I guess it's
rxvt.  I run it use a short cut on my desktop.  The content (target) of the
short cut is

"C:\Program Files\GNU Octave 2.1.36\bin\run.exe" rxvt.exe --keysym.0xFF50
'^a' --keysym.0xFF57 '^e' --keysym.0xFFFF '^f^h' -fn "Lucida Console-12" -tn
linux -title "GNU Octave 2.1.36" -geometry 80x25 -sl 400 -sr -e
/bin/start_octave.sh

That was set by the installation program I downloaded.

4.    One thing I found after my first message--once the "rxvt" window is
covered by other windows and then shows up again, the straight bars will
disappear.  So I guess it may be a problem of "rxvt"?

Thanks for your response

Jeff
