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). -- * Harald Hanche-Olsen - Debating gives most of us much more psychological satisfaction than thinking does: but it deprives us of whatever chance there is of getting closer to the truth. -- C.P.
