For example, if I have foo Fio then before: 'f' worked fine and the completion was 'foo'; 'F' ==> 'Fio'. Now I need 'fo' or 'Fi'. Usually Cygwin is strictly case sensitive by default, even if it 'lives' on a OS case insensitive. For ex.: 'mv emacs.mail Emacs.mail' works; only 'cp emacs.mail Emacs.mail' doesn't. So, why Emacs can't do what Cygwin can at its prompt? To be short: my opinion is that Cygwin shouldn't be added to that list! Cheers, Angelo.
