Re: Xemacs crash on WinXP

[Jee Chung <JeeChung at verizon dot net>]

Well, I may invoking by saying "emacs &", but all indications are that it's the X version of emacs that starts up, because if I try to start emacs from the cygwin terminal:

jchung@T22L-32 ~
$ which emacs
/usr/bin/emacs

jchung@T22L-32 ~
$ /usr/bin/emacs
emacs: Cannot connect to X server :0.0.
Check the DISPLAY environment variable or use `-d'.
Also use the `xhost' program to verify that it is set to permit
connections from your machine.

Is there a different way to invoke Xemacs?  I do get xemacs as part of my Cygwin install and keep it updated regularly
