The issue is not emacs, but the initial login terminal. Why are you starting emacs from cygwin.bat? Doesn't emacs have a "-nw" option for this purpose? Forgive me, I'm not an emacs person. I'm just recalling (perhaps incorrectly) what I've heard. > Besides I don't see that it does emacs any good at all > (1) it causes emacs to fail in a std tty window. and > (2) from an x-window it doesn't do anything that > emacs & doesn't do. > in an x-window. In this case its no relation to cmd.exe 'run.exe' is designed to be run directly from the Windows GUI (not from any console/terminal). If you've already started a console or terminal, it's really not needed. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd.
