Then for some reason, when I am in the xterm, type "emacs", it just opens in the original xterm window, without openning up the emacs' own window, and I do not know how to use emacs within the embedded window. I do not know what caused emacs unable to pop up its own window. I remembered I once tried "emacs -nw", but later on I always used "emacs" and it still could not open up the separate emacs window. I tried to reinstall emacs through cygwin setup.exe, not working; I tried to delete all my cygwin directory and reinstall everything, still the problem persists. Anybody has some idea about this issue? Thanks a lot! Best Regards, Zhi
