I was having some trouble with text based emacs under cygwin. The C-x C-c to exit was for some reason being interpreted as C-x C-g. After some googling around I found that export CYGWIN=tty seemed to fix the key sequence, however this also introduced new problems. Namely, after exiting emacs my input is no longer echoed back and reset doesn't seem to work either. I had about given up on it, but I started using screen for copy and paste and I found that while I was using screen emacs key bindings now worked correctly and there was no weird side effects after leaving emacs as before so I though I would post this really quick so that if/when others have this problem they will have a better solution those I found.
