Hello
This has been an interesting thread and I wanted to ask a
question about a problem I am have. I have tried using emacs on
cygwin, and the problem I have is, I can't close the editor once
I am done. I have tried ctrl-x ctrl-c and nothing
happens. This is for the emacs which comes with cygwin. Gnu's
emacs for windows works fine. Any ideas!!
I normally use Emacs for windows with perl-mode for perl and jde
for java.
