If you have an X server running and the DISPLAY environment variable set 
appropriately, emacs-X11 will use X11.  Try this:  Start the X server 
and then type 'emacs&' in an xterm window.  This should cause emacs to 
open in a new window, using X11.

The startemacs.bat that I sent you earlier in the thread achieves the 
same effect (as long as the X server is running).
