Copy from an rxvt terminal

Question

It does copy what I want but the problem is it somehow sends a ctrl-c to my terminal which will result in the execution of the current line of command every time! This truly bugs me. Can anyone help me with that? Thanks! I am using Windows 7 btw.

The command I use to open the rxvt terminal is C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -fn '*-courier-*-r-*-16-*' -sl 9999 -bg Black -fg Green -e /bin/bash -login

To check: what you're doing is selecting some text then hitting Ctrl+C?

If that's the case, what you're seeing is two separate behaviours: most terminal emulators will do the copy as soon as you've selected the text. No need for the Ctrl+C. Just swap to another window after you've selected the text, and try and paste it.
