1. Ctl-space (and Shft-space and Ctl-Shft-space) all produce space.
(Control-space is not an ASCII character - it can't be sent by an
ASCII terminal, BUT shift space SHOULD produce 0xA0 - 160 decimal).
2. The Backspace key sends ^H (0x08) which is correct, and is defined
by Emacs to produce help. You can change its effect by adding:
(define-key global-map "\010" 'backward-delete-char-untabify)
3. Ctl-y sends ^Y (0x19, 25 decimal) which is the right key and has the
right definition in Emacs. May be you have changed its binding ?
4. You can't simply copy your NT .emcas and hope it works, NTemacs is
using the PC keyboard like X windows (all 256 key values + all the
modifiers) while Cygwin uses crippled keyboard (It won't transmit
keys with code > 127, It translate the Alt [meta] to escape).
You can use rxvt on the PC which uses the M$ Windows keyboard input
so it support national keyboards.
If you want to work remotely with full keyboard I recommend to use VNC.
It is more complicated to setup, but it gives better results and some
other advantages. VNC homepage - http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/

dial-up line works satisfactory well (this email is done this way).
Ehud.
