You might want to distinguish the various cases like this: 1. NT Emacs launched from a desktop shortcut. This has the problem that if fails to inherit SSH_AUTH_SOCK from the user's shell. 2. NT Emacs started from Cygwin Bash. This avoids the problem that #1 has. 3. Cygwin Emacs launched from a desktop shortcut. This has the problem that if fails to inherit SSH_AUTH_SOCK from the user's shell. 4. Cygwin Emacs started from Cygwin bash. This avoids the problem that #1 has and also avoids the problem with the "c:" prefix in scp filename arguments. -- Francis Litterio [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://world.std.com/~franl/ GPG and PGP public keys available on keyservers. _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.freesoftware.fsf.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
