Re: Cygwin+XEmacs+Bash+TeX+XP

[Mats Bengtsson]

It seems that the bash you run in the windows version of
XEmacs doesn't read the setup files from your cygwin installation.
In particular, it looks as if it doesn't read the files in the
directory /etc/profile.d/.
Unfortunately, I know far too little about cygwin and the Windows
port of Emacs to be able to give any solution.
