FWIW, you can dispense with the batch file, and simply make a shortcut to "C:\cygwin\bin\bash --login -c 'cygstart /usr/bin/xemacs'"[*]. You can then set the shortcut to start minimized. Igor [*] I put /usr/bin/xemacs here, since xemacs is now a Cygwin package.
Thanks. I changed my shortcut and it seems to work...
Actually, it does not work the same. I have lowercase environment variables set when bash starts up and cygstart seems to capitalize them. :-( I don't want them captialized because I use the vars as abbreviations to long directory paths. For example,
export ws=~/path/to/some/dir
I then can use $ws in xemacs.
BTW, is there a better way to handle abbreviations like this? There are other disadvantages when adding a new path because it then needs to be added to process-environment and to all my shell-mode buffers.
