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'?
