English version, brand new Win XP laptop, running using the shortcut that gets installed by the installer. The command that gets executed in Windows 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 I think I downloaded from sourceforge but I'm not sure. >===== Original Message From "\(Jeffrey\) Jau-Huei Lin" ===== >Andy, >Here are some answers to your questions > >1.
