When I installed the 1.0 version of cygwin, it defaulted
the root to "c:/Cygwin".  Rather than tweak the path to
point to "c:/", I just left it at "c:/Cygwin".

everything works fine, save my emacs (Version 20.4.1
(i386-*-nt5.0.2195)).  I currently have an alias for emacs
that runs "emacs.bat" passing off the arguments.

the problem is that if I use "$HOME/.bashrc" as one of the
arguments, "$HOME" expands to "/usr/people/myoung" and not
"/Cygwin/usr/people/myoung".

I'm curious about how other people have all of this
set up...i've searched for a "using nt emacs with cygwin"
faq, but couldn't find one...

any help would be appreciated.

thanks.

...myoung
