Re: Xemacs

[Paul Johnson]

I've asked the administrator in our windows lab to install Xemacs so I 
can see what it does. I used to use it in the old days, but when 
building swarm started to require Emacs, I switched over because it was 
too much trouble/file space to maintain 2 emacs with 2 sets of packages, 
etc.

On the Emacs web site, I note a guy named Steve Kemp 
(http://www.gnusoftware.com/Emacs/Lisp/) posted his Xemacs startup file 
and he proposes:

(setq default-shell "D:\\tools\\tcsh.exe")
(require 'modes)

I don't suppose it would be that easy, would it.... 
C:\\cygwin\bin\bash.exe, I mean.

I'll let you know if I find a solution.
