I would like to be able to have a Windows shortcut that will do the equivalent of the following: 1) run cygwin.bat 2) execute "xemacs &" in the cygwin bash window 3) exit the cygwin bash window 4) leaving xemacs running.
I would like to start xemacs in this way so I can have my default bash enviroment initialized in xemacs. Any ideas on to do this?
I use the following.
% cat xemacs.bat @start /min c:\cygwin\bin\bash --login -c 'cygstart /usr/local/bin/xemacs'
Of course, you'll need to adjust the paths to match your environment. Once you make the batch file, you can make a shortcut to it in the usual way.

FWIW, you can dispense with the batch file, and simply make a shortcut to "C:\cygwin\bin\bash --login -c 'cygstart /usr/bin/xemacs'"[*]. You can then set the shortcut to start minimized. Igor [*] I put /usr/bin/xemacs here, since xemacs is now a Cygwin package.
Thanks. I changed my shortcut and it seems to work, but I noticed that the dos window indicates some number of errors from bash, but then quickly goes away. Is there a way for me to keep the window open so I can see what the errors are? I did not have the shortcut set to start minimized, here.
Also, the last time I tried the xemacs that comes with cygwin, there were problems with fonts and so I installed the version from xemacs.org instead.
