Just creating a new one with > ocamlmktop -custom ... Ah. If you use a native ocaml, it may not work with Cygwin emacs, as it won't understand the ptys that emacs uses to communicate with it (and thus will pop up a console). I forgot to ask Jeremy whether he uses the Cygwin version of ocaml, or the Windows native one. A quick test of this outside emacs is to try using rxvt -- if your ocaml works inside that, it probably will work inside emacs too. I don't know why remaking the toplevel helped you (since that didn't create a Cygwin version of it). Rebuilding under Cygwin would most likely help, as would installing the pre-built Cygwin ocaml package that is part of the Cygwin distribution.
