Installed cygwin on my wife's pc. Told it to grab, among
other things, emacs.
I run emacs, hit C-x d (dired), and shows me only
(I forget now) /home/.... With three files, (bash profile,
and two .xxxxrc files, and NO directories).
Seems that that's my "universe".
So as to go "up" in the dir-tree, I hit the "^", but
does nothing.
Question: How do I get access to the (entire) computer?
(Problem: I know **NOTHING** about M$ and xt (is what she has) --
the reason I want to use her pc is that I want to upload
.mp3 files to my Sansa "clip" mp3Player/radio/etc, and it
requires it be hooked (usb) to a pc windows. It will NOT
work on my sunblade100 (sparc), solaris9 -- I tried -- I can
charge the battery, yeah, but that's it, apparently.)
I was hoping I could, after downloading .mp3 files from the
net via firefox, then move them around, and stuff them into
my "clip" via dired.

IIRC, the C drive should already be mounted to /cygdrive/c/.
But I don't know why ^ wouldn't work...

Hi,
you may also try to feed the dired prompt with somthing like "c:/" or
"/cygdrive/c" or "/c".
Cheers

I don't know what's better in your situation, but for years now I've made
Cygwin an integral part of how I use Windows, but have always used the
native Windows Emacs (NTEmacs). The original reason for...

Yeah -- haven't seen how to get a dtterm-like or xterm-like or even
vt100-like window that's FULL SCREEN SIZED! (Do you, or anyone,
knowhow to do that?)

Am confused: are you comparing "emacs" (ANY emacs) running on windows
compared to emacs on unix/linux?
