Last I checked emacs was not part of the cygwin distribution, so we should find out which emacs you're using. Start with something simpler. Try to find out if it's a cygwin issue, a emacs thing or a combination. Do you have write access to the file under cygwin: $ touch testing $ echo "Testing write access with echo #1"> testing $ echo "Testing write access with echo #2">> testing $ vi testing # Something simple like: OTesting write access with vi^Esc:wq! And try step 3 and 4 with the isse-xml.tex file -- Med venlig hilsen / Kind regards Hack Kampbj�rn -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
