Your link, which I've somehow missed was very helpful. I've copied and
pasted the code in that link into my ".emacs" file. Now my shell behaves
quite normal. At least in the first instance like I've expected.
I'm still having a minor problem. The Perl I'm running from the "cygwin"
command line is the ActiveState Perl. I've modified the /etc/profile file to
look 1st in the c:/Program Files/bin directory. However when I do "which
perl" in the shell within emacs, the shell that is invoked is the "cygwin"
Perl, from the /usr/bin directory. This is what I do not want.
So my question is how do I force also in the shell that is spawned in the
emacs to invoke the correct Perl.
Thanks again
Roman

The only problem I'm aware of is that ^C does not work (because the
Emacs pipe is not TTY as Cygwin excepts it). If you're problems are
different please post examples and also your shell startup files (i.e.
your ~/.bashrc or ~/.[t]csh + ~./login).
I assume you've read the Cygwin FAQ entry: How do I run bash as a shell
under NT Emacs? (http://cygwin.com/faq/faq_toc.html#TOC60).
Ehud.
