I agree with you, Gary. It does make sense to use ntemacs + cygwin. Not all of us can kick off windows, say me :(.<br><br>Gary, I am not sure whether I have caught your point in your original question.<br>Here is what I do.<br>
# step1: add below line in my emacs configuration file.<br>(server-start) ;; emacs-client<br># step2: Change the preference programs of plain text files in Windows, and point them to ~/bin/emacsclientw.exe.<br><br>Regards,<br>

&gt;&gt; I do most of my work in a cygwin console environment (the tools are<br>
&gt;&gt; better, the environment is closer to the ultimate target environment,<br>
&gt;&gt; and so on), so yeah, I have my reasons :)<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I see, then maybe why not using a virtual machine with a real operating<br>
&gt; system<br>
<br>
</div>Not my choice. I suppose I could install a VM into Windows, but it<br>
doesn&#39;t appeal.<br>

&gt; With the controlmaster option is quite fast and you would avoid using<br>
&gt; the crappy cygwin..<br>
