I have installed emacs,xdvi, tex and auctex under cygwin for winXP.


I would like to change the way that emacs executes xdvi. Right now it does:

c:\cygwin\home\diku>bash --login -e xdvi c:/cygwin/home/diku/haps.dvi&
bash --login -e xdvi c:/cygwin/home/diku/haps.dvi&
xdvi-xaw.bin: Fatal error: Could not open `c:/cygwin/home/diku/haps.dvi': No 
such file or directory.


But if I in run just type:
bash --login -e xdvi /home/diku/haps.dvi

it work! How do I make emacs "drop" "c:/cygwin"?

I have no solution. I just want to say I do not understand how Cygwin 
handles file names. I can for example do

    ls "c:/program files"

in Cygwin bash.  It seems a bit inconsistent if your case does not work.
