Do you want to run GNU emacs in terminal mode? I run it in X mode with: @echo off C: chdir C:\cygwin2\bin bash --login -c "/usr/bin/startx /usr/bin/emacs -g 80x40+88+69 -- /usr/bin/X :0 -multiwindow -clipboard" I can also start a Cygwin window, and run GNU emacs there (with a -nw option). It starts, although doesn't work well. The keyboard bindings are weird for a start (e.g. C-x C-c gives in fact C-x C-g, which forces you to exit with M-x kill-emacs). I'm sure this was discussed already.
