[u-u] Terminal Emulation

[Andrew Cagney]

<start-key>cygwin<enter>

Having used both cygwin's ssh and putty, I've found managing SSH keys and 
getting them to play nice with other tools much easier with PuTTY (pagent/plink) 
than with ssh-agent.

Dave's into S&M..

You can even start cygwin with

   xterm  [your fav options]  &

You'd almost think you were home..

Dave has to drill down on those @#$%^& menus and set the options
and click some more to start another one..
