In some ways I prefer the native Win32 emacs - but that seems to have a few problems for me with regards to things like filename completion. In the console emacs, if I do C-x C-f and type a file or directory name and press TAB it completes it, but in Win32 emacs it only seems to do that for a very few files, which is rather strange. Any ideas about that? Apart from that I'd quite like to use the Win32 emacs as it lets you use the menu's properly (which is handy when you're in an unfamilier mode and you want to check out the commands available graphically). I am using cygwin in rxvt at the moment, but it doesn't seem to be any different in this regard to plain console. I have found that ESC-C-k will work instead of C-M-k, but that is a bit of a pain to use. I was going to use emacs in X under Cygwin, but I have a rather strange problem with XFCE under Cygwin which, as yet, no-one on the cygwin mailing list has responded to. Cheers, Robin
