Emacs Problem

Frank, Scott,

This is more likely a Cygwin options problem than it is non-standard key 
bindings in Emacs.

This is reaching the proportions of a FAQ: You need to include "tty" in 
your CYGWIN environment variable, lest the Cygwin tty driver commandeer the 
CTRL-C and send a SIGINT when it's typed.
