OK, you're confused. You mingled the idea of using the X version with
the idea of running a console version of emacs in a different "Windows"
window. Try:
cygstart emacs
I didn't try it with emacs because I don't have it. Works with vim
though. ;-)
See "man cygstart" if you have questions about it.

trying to use EMACS in cygwin
Hello,
Yes, that is what I am trying to do. However, I would like emacs to open up
in a separate window from the prompt window.
to open up my tcsh I am running:
rxvt -e tcsh
then, from the tcsh prompt:
1) If I type "emacs" I get the error I pasted below (if the enviornment
variable DISPLAY is set).
2) If I type "emacs" and the environment variable DISPLAY is not set, then
emacs opens up in the current window.
3) If I type "emacs -nw", then regardless of whether or not DISPLAY is set,
emacs opens up in the current window.
But I can't get emacs to open up in its own window....!

Are you trying to run plain-old emacs from a cygwin prompt and it keeps
telling you about the X thing? If so just run `emacs -nw'. If not, then
Sorry! :-)
