I can't exit emacs :-/

I can't exit emacs :-/

[casioculture]

When I try to exit emacs (C-x C-c) that I had started in the cygwin
shell (no gui) I can't. I see the C-x come up but when I enter C-c it
just beeps, but doesn't exit. When I start xemacs instead it does
start, and when it enter C-x C-c it does exit as expected.

Any ideas what the problem may be?

Try:
C-h k C-x C-c
If you don't see:
"C-x C-c runs the command save-buffers-kill-emacs"
Maybe your xemacs installation has overwritten something in your emacs.

I'm no windows user, but my guess is that the C-c is trapped by the
terminal/shell window which then sends a signal to emacs as a result.
(This is all unix terminology I'm using here, not sure how well it
maps to the windows setting.)

Use M-x save-windows-kill-emacs to get out.  This is the command run
by C-x C-c (when it works).

Hi, thanks, that didn't work. Any ideas? I tried uninstalling all
editors from cygwin and reinstalling emacs but that didn't work.

This is a Cygwin problem, not an Emacs problem.  So I think you need
to ask this on the Cygwin mailing list.

What do you mean ``it didn't work''?  What happens when you type the
command "M-x save-windows-kill-emacs" and press [Enter]?

What is the value of kill-emacs-hook ?

Try M-x save-buffers-kill-emacs

Does C-h k C-x C-c say "C-x C-g is undefined" or similar ?
Try setting your CYGWIN environment variable to "tty".

Oh, duh.  I should have copied the text out of the *Messages* buffer.

:D

I think you were right about Cygwin messing up C-c.
