I think we're agreeing, in a way. This thing I call NTEMACS (and googled for under that name and downloaded to xt) is definitely NOT a cygwin emacs. And, as you just said, M-x version said to this "NTemacs" gives: GNU Emacs 23.0.0.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2007-08-18 on TPAD Cygwin DOES have an emacs, under that very name, and I sure did NOT like it at all. Anyway, I got "ntemacs", and really like it. Goes full screen (the cygwin one wouldn't), for one. A biggie for me. Probably this same executable goes under several names? David
