Hi,


When I hit C-x C-c and intend to exit cygwin, but I get only an error
message: "C-x C-g" is undefined.  What's the problem? And, How can I
exit from emacs?

You're probably running emacs in the Cygwin console. If so, you have to make sure your CYGWIN environment variable contains tty before you start the console. Alternatively (and better), run emacs in mintty or under X11.

mintty did the job! thanks.



Another related problem is,  when I hit the Alt-Shift-# and intend to
launch the 'Calc' package, but only get 'M-# is undefined.  How do I
know if the 'Calc' installed in my emacs? And, if not, how do I
install it?

Yes, it is installed in /usr/share/emacs/23.2/lisp/calc. 'info calc' gets you the manual.

I got see the directory: /usr/share/emacs/22.3/lisp/calc, (note: it's 22.3, not 23.2). But M-# still reports "M-# is undefined". How to start the Calc?

If it's 22.3, then you haven't installed the current emacs.


I've never used Calc, but I took a quick glance at the manual ('info calc'). It tells you how to start it, how to get help, etc.
