The Cygwin GNU emacs understands //machine/share syntax, but not X:/path syntax. Normal Cygwin /some/path/to/file syntax is fine also (of course). >>If you want to run "emacs -nw", say from a remote login shell, you can't. (The >>error is "emacs: standard input is not a tty".)

You want "tty" in the CYGWIN environment variable value for it to work well.
