Hi

I guess this question has been asked before but I want to open cygwin bash
shell in Emacs (Vista O/S).

I'm probably missing something fundamental -- however, I have C:\cygwin\bin in my (Windoze) PATH, right after the various C:\WINDOWS directories, and I have the line:

   (setq explicit-shell-file-name "C:/cygwin/bin/bash.exe")

in my .emacs file, and it just works. I also have a file .emacs_bash.exe containing the single line:

   . .bash_profile

since the Emacs 'shell' command does not pass the --login option to the shell.
