| Put this in your .bashrc:
|
| function emacs ()
| {
|         /c/path-to/win32-emacs/emacs.exe "$@"
| }

Or

  alias emacs=/c/path-to/win32-emacs/emacs.exe

so that you can invoke Cygwin Emacs when you need it using "\emacs".  Or
call the function something else; or invoke Cygwin Emacs using
"/bin/emacs".

Or, if you don't use Cygwin Emacs, just uninstall it - then "emacs" will
pick up your Win32 Emacs without changing .bashrc.
