Re: New User Problems setup, emacs compiling etc.

I can't get emacs to work properly in the "DOS/Bash" window.  When I invoke it (by
typing emacs) it displays a menu bar at the top (which is useless) and you can kind of
work with it but you cannot exit normally with a C-x C-c.  You can C-z which puts it
in the background and then you can kill it.  Any suggestions on how to get emacs to
work normally ?
This is a FAQ.

Make sure the CYGWIN environment variable contains "tty" before bash is started.
You should probably make this a system environment variable setting.
