This has been fixed in cygwin 1.7.  If you want to stick with cygwin 
1.5, try the F1 function key for help whenever C-h doesn't work.  Or run 
emacs under X.

This happens if you run emacs in the cygwin console, unless your CYGWIN 
environment variable contains tty.  But even then, many key strokes 
won't work as expected.  You're better off using a different terminal 
(e.g., mintty or rxvt) or running emacs under X.
