I'm having the same trouble quiting emacs. I can't do C-h k anything
because when I do Alt-X describe-key C-h emacs recognizes it at DEL
and gives me the docs for the DEL key.

Alt-X describe-key C-x C-c results in emacs displaying "C-x C-g is
undefined" in the minibuffer. So when I type C-c emacs is seeing a
C-g.

I'm running this from the cygwin shell without X.

emacs is seeing my C-x C-c sequence as C-x C-g which results in
nothing since the C-g (keyboard quit) cancels the C-x.
Anyone know how to fiddle with how the keys are interpreted by the
shell for cygwin?
BTW I have the same problem using C-x C-c in jed so I believe the
proper solution should lie in some sort of shell / terminal
configuration, not in .emacs
Thanks,
