Then I did what I should have done before probably. I took a close look at gawk.exe and, guess what, it was a zero length file. My best speculation is that last time I updated my cygwin distribution, my gawk.exe got corrupted. Anyway, I just downloaded, built, and installed gawk. Then I created a link from gawk to awk and my emacs "manual-entry" command is working again. Thanks for your help.
