Getting back to this, I already have terminfo0 installed. I tried Marc Girod's emacs.bat script from an earlier reply, but it doesn't work for me because I already have an X server running. What I really need is something that gives me a regular separate Windows decorated frame, with Emacs running inside. I get that out of the box with XEmacs, but some things work a little better in GNU Emacs, so I'm trying to get that working. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
