Ah. Try setting it to just "rxvt". It's very likely that the Solaris
terminfo database has no idea what "rxvt-cygwin-native" is, but it
should know rxvt. Or it could be that this application is using the
legacy termcap database instead of terminfo, and there's no termcap file
for rxvt-cygwin-native.
For convenience you can set this when you invoke rxvt with "-tn rxvt".
The reason it works in a subshell of emacs is that emacs is probably
setting TERM to something different, since it is providing the
pseudoterminal.
