I've been using emacs for years, and years, right now I'm running it on cygwin, under Windows XP Pro. When I start up emacs, it doesn't load the files I name on the command line, unless I do an 'emacs -q' to not load any init files. Obviously, it must be something in my .emacs file, but I don't see anything that I've changed in the recent past. Where should I start to debug this? I don't get any errors when it runs, it just refuses to load anything from the command line. Emacs is GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i686-pc-cygwin, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2009-08-03. Emacsclient works fine, Ctl-X f works fine. Could this be from an error I missed at compile time? Any ideas? Dave in Largo, FL
