When I do that (Cygwin, XEmacs 21.4.0), I don't get to the fourth step. Pressing C-cC-c in the shell hangs XEmacs forever. This did not happen when I was using 21.1.13. I'm not sure why you refer to the "shell being finished". Pressing C-cC-c in the shell is for interrupting subjobs, not to kill the shell, unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying. -----Original Message----- From: Andy Piper [mailto:andyp＠bea.com] Sent: Monday, April 30, 2001 8:58 AM To: andre(a)slamdunknetworks.com; xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org Subject: Re: Cygwin and subprocess problems in 21.4.1?
