I don't see any error, OTOH, it launches emacs in a hidden console that 
you cannot get at, so isn't much use.

I don't see any reason why someone would want to use runemacs to launch 
emacs -nw, since the sole purpose of runemacs is to suppress the console 
window when launching emacs from an icon on Windows, so I don't think 
this needs fixing urgently. If we are going to fix this though, it would 
be better if emacs was run in the same console window rather than 
launching another one, as the latter may not be an option if the user is 
using telnet/ssh, or a full screen command prompt. Also we need to 
handle --no-window-system and the case where no GUI is available as well 
as -nw.
