#1 Made no difference, sadly.
#2 Is interesting.  I tried three things:

a) I ran RTerm.exe directly from my normal shell, which is bash under rxvt
in cygwin.  Here Ctrl-C kills R.
b) I ran RTerm.exe from the default cygwin shell, which is bash under
cmd.exe (I think!).  Here Ctrl-C behaves normally.
c) I ran RTerm.exe from cmd.exe (from Start->Run).  Here Ctrl-C behaves
normally.

So now I think that this is an rvxt problem.  I wish I'd thought of trying
these experiments before.

It looks like others have run up against this problem as well.  For example:
http://omgili.com/mailinglist/cygwin/cygwin/com/27221260posttalknabblecom.html

I have to run right now, but I'll see if I can sort out a workaround this
afternoon.

Thanks for your help,

-J
