Re: How to run GNU Emacs from Windows icon

Ok, I've installed Emacs 23.  The results are sort of better, but worse.
Running it now, which actually runs "emacs-X11" through a link, looks like
"emacs -nw".  It's definitely not using X11.

If you have an X server running and the DISPLAY environment variable set appropriately, emacs-X11 will use X11. Try this: Start the X server and then type 'emacs&' in an xterm window. This should cause emacs to open in a new window, using X11.

The startemacs.bat that I sent you earlier in the thread achieves the same effect (as long as the X server is running).
