Yes, there is: it's %*. The problem is that the Windows shells do not support command lines with embedded newlines at all. > To workaround this I create executable > which linked with Cygwin runtime and as in BusyBox > to 'execvp' passed base name as command and all args without > changes.

I expect you to see more surprises down the line. I highly recommend to install the Cygwin build of Emacs and use that instead. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
