To any one that can help, I am trying to use xemacs with cgwin on windows to be able to telnet to a unix server. If I bring up cygwin by itself and try to telnet to the unix server then I can telnet in just fine. The problem is that I do not have the functionality of the xemacs editor because the term type that I need is not available. When I bring up xemacs and go to the mini buffer using Meta-x and type telnet and the hostname it does not give me an error and does open a new buffer but with no prompt of any type. In the small information bar at the bottom of the buffer it saids *telnet-hostname* (telnet:sp-unix). If I try to telnet from the command line in a buffer then I get a message Signal 127 and then a prompt again. xemacs is a great editor but is useless to me without being able to telnet. Instead of cygwin I wonder if I should try to run emacs under x11, any suggestions and instructions would be appreciated. Also if someone knew of a free emulator that I could use to start emacs or xemacs that would have the right key mapping and the mouse would be alive. I have tried to use emacs and xemacs in procomm plus 3, Anzio and Qvtnet. It will come up but a lot of the functionality is lost such as the meta keys and the mouse.
