Hi

Sorry, yes indeed the cygwin setup for emacs from the cygwin FAQ fixes the
falt due to the line that i was lacking: (setenv "PATH" (concat
"C:\\cygwin\\bin;" (getenv "PATH"))). I had hoped to avoid adding the cygwin
bin directory to the system environment PATH because when switching between
shells things can get very confusing if you do this - it;s far nicer just to
set up the bash path when the bash shell is started. However, since
ispell.el runs the ispell.exe directly, not via a shell command (bash -c
ispell <file>, for example), the path needs to contain the location of the
cygwinN.dll for cygwin executables to work. It's a shame ispell.el doesn't
launch ispell via a shell command.

jonathan.

ps. please find attached a file which sets up many other things for cygwin,
and adds a shell submenu to the tools menu
