I agree with you, Gary. It does make sense to use ntemacs + cygwin. Not all
of us can kick off windows, say me :(.

Gary, I am not sure whether I have caught your point in your original
question.
Here is what I do.
# step1: add below line in my emacs configuration file.
(server-start) ;; emacs-client
# step2: Change the preference programs of plain text files in Windows, and
point them to ~/bin/emacsclientw.exe.

Regards,
Denny
