rxvt looks very good.  Unfortunately, I need a method which is
screen reader compatible, as I'm blind.  From what I'd read, rxvt presents
the cursor in a way which prevents screen readers from locating it; having
just tried it briefly, this seems to be the case.

If I knew more about Windows programming, I'd be tempted to hack it to use
a trackable caret.  Might be worth checking more recent versions, or
contacting the developer(s), I suppose.

Any other thoughts or possibilities?  If most people are using rxvt, does
that mean the options I was looking at are more rare, so probably not well
documented?

Cheers,

Nikhil.
