Im a beginner with Cygwin and i have just installed the Emacs editor. Could you tell me (with easy steps) what to do to have emacs in a new window and not in the commander window?
If you run emacs under X windows, it will open its own window. Otherwise, it will run in whatever window you started it in. But you can always open a new terminal window before running emacs.
By the way, emacs will work much better if you run it from a mintty terminal or rxvt terminal rather than the window you get by clicking on the cygwin icon. If you don't know what this means, just install the mintty and/or rxvt package, and you'll get start menu shortcuts for them.
