I took a deep breath and decided to completely replace the old cygwin. (Replacing older perl with strawberry perl was such a good move I was encouraged to upgrade.) So, I removed it and the new cygtexmacs dir trees. I then downloaded and installed a complete cygwin tree. I was surprised to find it did not have any texmacs editor. Looking around I found a lot of empty dirs in the new tree and a log file which indicated a lot of files were not found (some unidentified place). So I tried to install just the editor package on top of the new cygtexmacs tree created by the install of cygwin.
