Hi,

I am trying to run the cygwin port of Xemacs on Windows XP without a
console window.
I tried this command but the window didn't appear. However I could see
the process running in TaskManager.
>c:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/xemacs

Then tried this version of the command and it worked.
>c:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/xemacs

I'm just wondering what the difference between the two.

Thanks.
