Ralf: all along I have used cygwin.

Also I did not keyed in the commands. I used an executable file (see
attached file) for /.configure part

Why didn't I keyed the /.configure part? Because when I tried to do it,
cygwin did not find the "Program Files/XEmtex" folder. Look at the
example below to see the problem.

When I paste the command
/c/PROGRA\~1/XEmTeX/bin/win32/tex
into the cygwin bash shell, see what I get

/c/home/$
/c/home/$/c/PROGRA\~1/XmTeX/bin/win32/tex

See that the sequence /XEmTeX was changed to /XmTeX

If I tried to edit the line to input the uper case E, the
shell does not let me do it. The command like seems to be
non-enditable on the character next to the upper case X.

Now, when I paste the command (notice now that a lower case e follows  the
upper case X)
/c/PROGRA\~1/XemTeX/bin/win32/tex

Then I get


/c/home/$/c/PROGRA\~1/XemTeX/bin/win32/tex
This is pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.21b-2.2 (Web2c 7.5.3)
 \write18 enabled.
 %&-line parsing enabled.
**

So there is a problem witht he /XE  sequence because the E disappears.

I hope I have answered your questions

Thanks for the help

Best regards

Luis A

Did you use the Windows command prompt for configuring and building or
the MSYS shell?

Can you start tex with the command
/c/PROGRA\~1/XEmTeX/bin/win32/tex
from an MSYS shell?
