Dear Sir/Madam,
   I have installed cygwin in my IBM intellistation with windows xp
professional Operating system (64 bit edition). I am experiencing some
difficulties in using the graphical windows which can be invoked
through cygwin terminal. Could you please clarify since i am new to
linux environment?
   when i typed emacs in the terminal, i got the emacs window, but
none of the menu options worked. i was not able to close it even with
C-x C-c. I closed the cygwin terminal instead of getting out of emacs.
    when I type 'edit' in bash or csh, it shows 'command not found'.
    I had given the command 'init 0' in the terminal and got the
following message from the syatem:
                  A fatal error has occurred and Cygwin/X will now exit.
                        Please open /tmp/XWin.log for more information.
                                vendor: the cygwin/X project
                                release 6.8.99.901-4
                  contact: cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com
      XWin was started with the following command line:
/usr/X11R6/bin/XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent -dup -error


Kindly suggest me what to do to make my cygwin work well with emacs and X window.


Please read and follow the problem reporting guidelines found here:

Other questions:


  o What is the "cygwin terminal" you're using?
  o Does your CYGWIN environment variable contain 'tty'?
