Yeah -- haven't seen how to get a dtterm-like or xterm-like or even
vt100-like window that's FULL SCREEN SIZED! (Do you, or anyone,
knowhow to do that?)

Am confused: are you comparing "emacs" (ANY emacs) running on windows
compared to emacs on unix/linux?
Or are you comparing NTemacs (on windows, of course) with the
emacs that cygwin "setup" lists as something to include as
a tool available under CYGWIN?

Well, I've done it via window's (well, xp's) "my computer" facility.
Works ok, not bad.
QUESTION: using "my computer", I look at the sansa-clip's internal directory,
or what seems to be it. Under "internalmemory", there's "music", this,
that, and the other, PLUS something I called "WBAI". (these "dirs"
are all at the same level, seemingly direct-children of "internalmemory".
When I copy files (downloaded into "downloads" on my wife's pc)
from there, for the "where to" I click on "WBAI". And I can
watch them going there.
OK, nice -- nice to be able to have the dir-tree of
the mp3 device mirrored right there onto the pc!
EXCEPT -- when I turn on the mp3-device itself,
there's no "WBAI" dir anywhere to be seen!
I must go to MUSIC and under that to SONGS --
and it's THERE that all the files ended up at.
So I'm not so clear on just what I'm seeing in EITHER
place -- "my computer's" "mirror" or the device itself.
Any ideas?
ALSO -- I first saw the sansa-CLIP (4gb) at Costco, at a discount,
so I (spendthrift!) bought TWO of them.
So, I hook both of them, simultaneously, to the computer.
And (if they're plugged in BEFORE I bring-up the pc) they're
both recognized, both icons show up in "my computer".
QUESTION: no label identifyhing them, ie no seeming way to
refer to one vs the other OTHER THAN by POINTING AT IT
("UG -- ME SEE TWO MP3 DEVICES! ME WANT TO LOOK AT *THAT* ONE.
UGG! SEE -- THAT ONE THERE! UG!").
Suggestions as to any NAME for them?
THANKS!
David
