I've just installed xemacs-21.4.19 on the latest Cygwin under Windows XP, SP2.

When I'm typing file names, it keeps using backslashes as the path separator.
How do I change that to a forward slash?
I have my cygwin mount points read automatically, and I would rather deal with forward slashes everywhere.

Thanks,
Steve

Where exactly did you install this XEmacs from?

See
directory-sep-char
which you can set with
(setq directory-sep-char ?\\)
or
(setq directory-sep-char ?/)

Hope this helps,

Adrian
