Thanks for the information. Maybe the context for my question would help. I'm attempting to follow advice from [Steve Yegge's My .emacs File article](http://steve.yegge.googlepages.com/my-dot-emacs-file) in order to get useful cygwin bash interaction from within NT Emacs. He seems to be of the opinion that the gentleman who responded in the comments about having the path interpolation code and installing cygwin in the default directory was mislead about what you need to get it to work. Are there A) Practical responses to Yegge's way of using Cygwin and NT Emacs? or B) A proven way to do what I'm trying to do without messing with cygwin's install directory (I would prefer this as I would like to keep cygwin safely secluded).
