Mobaxterm seems to be a pa= ckaging of cygwin. =20 =20 If the mxt3 file uses cygwin, emacs might be able to be uninstalled via= cygwin package manager. =20 =20 Windows now supports Linux natively, however. So, one could for example, install Ubuntu instead of cygwin and you would get a more recent versio= n of emacs available to you via apt package manager, under Ubuntu. The Ubuntu community tends to be friendly and helpful. =20 =20 Kendall
