Re: Resizing problem

[Olwe Melwasul <hercynianforest@gmail.com>]

Yes, I am using the emacs-X11 and yes, I started it (after starting
the X server to get multiwindowed mode) with ">emacs &" at the cygwin
command. Emacs-X11 comes up fine, looking good. Then I do "M-x shell"
to get a shell environment inside of Emacs. But what comes up is not
bash. I'm not sure what it is, but it sees no cygwin apps: It doesn't
know what "ls" or "which diff" or any other GNU/cygwin stuff is. I
assume it is the DOS shell. Oddly, if I start emacs-X11 inside the
windowed mode (startx) and do emacs shell mode, it does see bash and
the rest of the GNU/cygwin apps.
