I was having some trouble with text based emacs under cygwin.
The C-x C-c to exit was for some reason being interpreted as C-x C-g.
After some googling around I found that export CYGWIN=3Dtty seemed to fix t=
he key
sequence, however this also introduced new problems. =A0Namely, after exiti=
ng
emacs my input is no longer echoed back and reset doesn't seem to work
either.  I had about given up on it, but I started using screen for
copy and paste
and I found that while I was using screen emacs key bindings now
worked correctly and there was no weird side effects after leaving emacs as
before so I though I would post this really quick so that  if/when others
have this problem they will have a better solution those I found.
