This isn't working for Emacs-26.3 in a cygwin terminal because w32-shell-execute is not bound. Do you know a cygwin alternative for w32-shell-execute? I guess start-process will do but I don't need a subprocess for this independent application. Thank you very much Dieter -- Best wishes H. Dieter Wilhelm Zwingenberg, Germany
