 Read Larry's advice more closely.  Check for words "Announcement" and "emacs".

 Search on "cygwin" "emacs" "environment".  It should point you to
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-01/msg01446.html
 Read this message carefully.

Note: /usr/doc/Cygwin/emacs-21.2-12.README should have a reference to this critical information.

Note2:  You need to question whether you really want to run cygwin emacs.
  NTemacs, Xemacs for Windows, and cygwin Xemacs are all preferable in certain respects.

Not a lot of choice at present - just run out of disk space. Only 20Mb left!

I can't exit emacs

[Stephen Ford]

PC + Win 98se + 160Mb Ram + 20Mb free HDD

I have just installed Cygwin including the emacs editor (v21.2.1) and
discovered that it will not exit.

If I press C-x, then C-x- appears at the bottom of the screen. Pressing C-c
results in a beep.

C-h does nothing. I installed the Cygwin basic docs

Some commands work like save-buffer (C-c C-s)

Any ideas?


Regards
Stephen Ford

Yes.  Check if you're running Cygwin's version of Emacs first.  If you are,
check the email archives for the Emacs package announcement.  There's good
information there about setting 'tty' in your CYGWIN environment variable.
There's also a fair amount of discussion of this and other Emacs issues in
the email archives so it's worthwhile to make a review of those discussions.

Re: I can't exit emacs

[Stephen Ford]

Larry, Hello...

<<..Check if you're running Cygwin's version of Emacs first..>>

I assume it is - I've only just installed cygwin and I didn't have emacs
prior to the install.

<<..check the email archives for the Emacs package announcement..>>

Initial searches ("emacs") retrieved so much that I was overwhelmed. Tried
Google with "cygwin cannot exit emacs" but did not get a useful result.

<<..information there about setting 'tty' in your CYGWIN environment
variable..>>

An intuitive thought made me suspect terminal settings but I didn't know
where to start looking. I will chase this. However, my PC is bog-std so
would not really expect a setup problem. All things possible I suppose...

Try "cygcheck -c emacs"...

Try searching the cygwin-announce archives.

Oh, and to exit the session of emacs you have currently running, try
M-x save-buffers-kill-emacs
(I'm surprised noone has mentioned that one -- in a "how do I exit vi"
post anyone would have mentioned ":q!" :-D)

Hope this helps,
	Igor

Igor

<<..Try "cygcheck -c emacs"..>>

Plain old emacs

<<..Try searching the cygwin-announce archives..>>

Not used to cygwin-speak ... learning!

<<..information there about setting 'tty' in your CYGWIN environment

Put 'set CYGWIN=tty' in cygwin.bat and now C-x C-c exits emacs. The 'M-x
save-buffers-kill-emacs' works too, but C-h does not. Any further ideas?

What do you want C-h to do?

Use F1 for help.

<<..What do you want C-h to do?..>>

Info emacs says that it start emacs' help. F1 isn't mentioned - or at least
not in the text that I read. Got to admit that F1 never occured to me - add
it works too! :-))

Thanks

Re: I can't exit emacs

[Aldi Kraja]

Hi,
I had time that had seen the problem of not exiting emacs of cygwin. So 
instead of its interface that is too plain, I created a symbolic link to 
cygwin and I invoke the xemacs PC version. Also I would like to say to 
whom is working on Xfree that they have done tremendous job on their 
emacs, unless the emacs is the same one that I invoke under cygwin. Than 
I would say it's better to start "startx" for the worthy emacs interface.
Regards,
Aldi

Both emacs are the same.  The character-mode interface is the usual
character-mode UNIX interface.  The GUI interface is the usual X11
UNIX interface.

Any ideas?


I've tried this one:
F10 
f 
e

And emacs exit.

Cheers
