With Cygwin, I have a nice replacement for the Windows command shell - all nice and unixy. The one problem I have though is that it's all contained in that dreadful Windows command-prompt box - the one you can't really resize and it a pain in the ass to highlight, copy and paste from/into. Anyone know of a replacement for it? I can get a replacement if I fire up X, but I really don't want to do that, as it's a real drain on the system.
