RE: emacsclient under windows

Juanma,

Thanks for catching my transgression.

emacs-version: 23.4
OS: CYGWIN on Windows 7

The symptom:

If I run  emacsclient X:\your\name\here  in one place, then emacs sees that as a simple filename, so it tries to find, e.g. /home/dougl/src/X:\your\name\here (if the client was run in C:\cygwin\home\dougl\src).
