I'm use emacs for windows 95 as my text editor to
create LaTeX documents. I've just installed the cygwin
packages including the latest ispell port.

In order for emacs to find/use ispell, I added the
following lines to my autoexec.bat file:

set path=c:\cygwin\usr\local\bin;%path%
set path=c:\cygwin\bin;%path%

Now I find that I can execute ls and other commands in
a regular dos window (i.e., without starting cygwin
from the start menu). I was working under the
assumption that to use the cygwin packages, cygwin
would have to be started from the start menu.

Have I done anything wrong or is there a better way to
do this?

Thanks,
Paul
