Emacs for winNT seems more productively for me than getting it to work in cygwin. :/ Prefer rxvt console over cmd console, but python for windows goes pretty much stale when doing so, due to ^z ^d do not exit the python shell (wxPython relies on windows version). If you delete c:\cygwin\cygwin.bat and .ico files you can create a folder/directory called c:\cygwin\cygdrive which makes autocompletion for /cygdrive very convenient. However, this means that you need to mung an shortcut/environment (place cygwin\bin on the system path) that does what cygwin.bat I like this for my cygwin shortcut command properties: c:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -geometry 100x59+345+5 -C -rv +ls -sb -sr -st -si -sk -sl 2000 -sbt 14 -fn -adobe-courier-*-r-normal--1-*-*-*-m-*-*-* -e bash -login I'm open to suggestions as to how to improve this environment, but I've found these settings work well for my needs. -Joe -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
