but not emacxs.

i'll tyry to list some problems.
-
soory, i really have a hard time keeping my fingers off the backspace key.
- the cygwin command prompt works
- emacs brings up the welcomme message, but when I do CX CF on a shell
scrippt file it han gs , going into a lopp peeging one of the cores
- the startwi XWin server menu item brings up the server, and a copule of
other windows flaash by.
- starting xterm from the cygwin prompt i get the old ddl failure, o so I did do a rebaseall
- the starting xterm works, so I can d ssh and post this
Now, on linux the backspace key sends }}In 127. Please make that the default.
It's the right thing for us emacs users, and it does not hurt anybody else.
