How to quit emacs while on cygwin?!
this is for all the suckers out there like me who are running cygwin and emacs on cygwin. How to quit emacs on cygwin?!! C-x C-c is scoffed at and ignored!!
After much frustration on sites that say "C-x C-c" should work.....I found a website that finally revealed that you need to create a windows environment variable
{
find 'my computer'
right click on 'my computer'
select 'properties'
go to the 'advanced' tab
click 'environment variables'
in 'user variables' box, click 'new'
a box named 'new user variable' with 2 fields should pop up
in the field labelled 'variable name', type in CYGWIN
in the field labelled 'variable value', type in tty
click OK
}
Now, quit all cygwin windows.
Open a new cygwin window.
Type in emacs at command line.
Hit C-x C-c and revel in how it WORKS.
