I was able to add my own 'edit with xemacs' action, but couldn't get the 
cygpath right without calling a separate script.  Plus, I had to add this 
action to every file type I wanted - a big pain!  It doesn't look like yours 
is doing anything with the paths - does it just work?

I'll have to play with that some.  How did you get it under the 'send to' 
menu?

Thanks,

Cary

P.S. Here's my first attempt:

new action: Edit with xemacs
Application: C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login -c 
'wxemacs "%1" '

which calls this simple script (wxemacs):
  arg=$(cygpath -am "$*")
  exec xemacs "$arg"


I copied some of this from my xemacs shortcut, perhaps it's not all needed, 
but it's nice to have xemacs running with the full environment set.
