Cygwin+XEmacs+Bash+TeX+XP

[Nigel Warner]

Dear All,

        Firstly Lilypond works just fine from a Cygwin window using the
     MS-Windows distribution 1.6.8. I have managed to get the native
     version of Xemacs to use the bash shell as a internal shell in a
     buffer but, although lilypond-book works LaTeX does not. I have
     pared my path down to the bare minimum as under. Does anyone have
     any bright ideas as to how I can get this to work ?.

         I have decided that since I am going to move to Linux full time
     in the near future I had best become familiar with XEmacs (XEmacs
     because I need big fat proportional fonts and I don't really want
     to run an X server) and it would be nice not to have to leave the
     editor.

     Error message under as appearing in XEmacs.
