bug#38367: 26.3; Cannot start Emacs with -nw option, starting with Emacs

That's what I meant.  But I had it backward
(`emacs' vs `runemacs').  Sorry for the noise -
I'll close the bug.

The Target on the Shortcut tab is this:

y:\Emacs-24.5\bin\emacs.exe -nw
                  ^^^^^

That works fine for me in all Emacs versions,
including 24.5 and 26.x.

I don't actually use -nw, except rarely, for
testing something.  For 26.x I tried to do 
what I've done before for -nw, but I got it
backward.

I always use shortcuts, not CMD.

What I meant and wrote was backward from what I
actually do (which works, including in Emacs 26).

I use `runemacs', not `emacs', for GUI, and
I use `emacs', not `runemacs', for -nw.

What I said was mistakenly the opposite of that.

Thanks.
