Actually, I had already tried rm'ing the symbolic link and copying 
gawk.exe to awk.exe, but got the same results. Then I did what I should 
have done before probably. I took a close look at gawk.exe and, guess 
what, it was a zero length file. My best speculation is that last time 
I updated my cygwin distribution, my gawk.exe got corrupted. Anyway, I 
just downloaded, built, and installed gawk. Then I created a link from 
gawk to awk and my emacs "manual-entry" command is working again. 
Thanks for your help.
