Sorry, I use cygwin (via *shell* in emacs), but I don't know
what this "cygwin terminal" is.  I probably would benefit
from it!

Any comments or help on it?  Thanks!

One problem I have is getting the *cygwin* shell stuff to work:
(this is from some time ago, so I might have forgotten
a bit of what I did):

  I (thought I) found that if I wanted to use pipes, variables,
  etc within a cygwin shell (sh, tcsh (I believe), etc), then
  I was required to use that horrible windows "cmd" black-and-white
  window, which was really, really gross.

  One problem I had was that I could not prepare IN EMACS a command
  to execute there, and paste that command into that
  horrible cmd window.  Could only type it in there by hand,
  character by character. 

  Likewise, I think I recall, it was difficult or impossible
  to "copy" text from within that window (for pasting elsewhere);
  copying and pasting simply didn't work in cmd windows.

Question: have you found a way to run cygwin shells, etc,
  other than within a cmd window?

Question: have you found a way TO do copy, paste, etc
  with a cmd window?

And, generally, how do people run the cygwin shells?
  In what environment?


Question: how do they get the full features of one
  of those shells to work, within emacs?  Within, say,
  *shell* or *eshell*?
  


THANKS MUCH FOR ANY HELP!

David
