It's supposed to do everything except make your coffee in the morning, no? So *why* would you *ever* want to quit from it? ;-) ;-) ;-) No flames or editor-wars, please! :-) >I run a standalone emacs on my box and when I quit I hit the keys [ ctrl x c ] and it quits the app. >But in the one that runs in cygwin, it does not. > >How do I get cygwin to quit emacs and return to a cmd prompt? You're best off re-posting this after reading www.cygwin.com/bugs.html. The obvious question that comes to mind for me is - are you running the Cygwin or Win32 version of Emacs? I can't tell (and neither can anyone else) from the information you've sent so far. That's why we have a recommended procedure for posting problem reports. Take a look at 'em.
