I get the same message for 'emacs -nw'? What do I need to tell
emacs? or cygwin? or both?
Make sure terminfo is installed -- there should be a file
/usr/lib/terminfo/c/cygwin.
Unset TERMINFO if it is set.
Make sure the CYGWIN variable includes "tty".
Also, note that there is a separate package for X11 emacs. If you don't
install it, all you get from the "emacs" package is the usual terminal-mode
emacs.
