If you want to stick with cygwin 1.5, try the F1 function key for help whenever C-h doesn't work. Or run emacs under X. > (2) C-x C-c does not exit emacs, although > M-x-save-buffers-and-exit does This happens if you run emacs in the cygwin console, unless your CYGWIN environment variable contains tty. But even then, many key strokes won't work as expected. You're better off using a different terminal (e.g., mintty or rxvt) or running emacs under X.
