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. > Do you get a similar documentation after C-h k C-x C-c? 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. > Is your window manager eating C-x or C-c, perhaps?

Then between > the a's and the b's you should be able to see what Emacs saw when you > typed C-x C-c. 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, ~>Bill
