Thank you, I applied a patch along what you write above. For the latest version of these FAQ entries, see http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/winsup/doc/faq-using.xml?cvsroot=src Please refer to the latest version on this page for any further update. I guess we also should move the XEmacs entry up so that the native Emacs is referred last.
