I assume "23.2 zip package" refers to the native NTEmacs port of GNU  
Emacs. I've used this port in the past mainly because it offers file  
drag&drop support. However, I came across serious speed issues of this  
port (see  
http://www.mhoenicka.de/system-cgi/blog/index.php?itemid=2022) so I'd  
also recommend to use Cygwin's emacs. Works out of the box over here.
