Hit the key ALT-x, then type "kill-emacs", then hit the key ENTER. b. Hit the key ESCAPE, then hit the key x, then type "kill-emacs", then hit the key ENTER. -Richard Campbell. -- 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/
