Thanks.  I changed my shortcut and it seems to work, but I noticed that 
the dos window indicates some number of errors from bash, but then 
quickly goes away.  Is there a way for me to keep the window open so I 
can see what the errors are?  I did not have the shortcut set to start 
minimized, here.

Also, the last time I tried the xemacs that comes with cygwin, there 
were problems with fonts and so I installed the version from xemacs.org 
instead.
