Hi ALl, I installed cywin on my windows xp machine and when i tried to open the windows shell in emacs, i found that cygwin had taken over the cmd shell (thats what i think..) unix commands like ls, started working in the windows shell. is this what it should it do? i thought that the commands should be working in the bash shell. when i did a pwd in the windows shell, the output was /cygdrive/c/emacs/bin why should the /cygdrive/ prefix appear, in a windows native shell?
the tab completion wich was working before i installed cygwin, doesn't work now. for examples i have a word.exe file in a folder and when i tried to run this i usually type the first few chars and then press tab for autocompletion, but it only gives me the options that are there in the C:\cygwin\bin how can i get back the original windows command prompt without uninstalling cygwin. i could use the cygwin bash shell sperately. many thanks, minesh -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/opening-windows-shell-in-emacs---problem-tf3700626.html#a10348457 Sent from the Cygwin Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
