[CM] Xemacs/CM error

[James Baker]

you need to set cm-program, otherwise emacs attempts to launch a shell
script (something windows knows nothing about)

add the following to your .emacs (make sure to alter the path to where
cm is located on your system)

(setq cm-program "c:/path/to/cm/bin/cm.bat")
