> 1) "emacs.exe -Q -nw" from CMD: starts a console Emacs inside CMD
> 2) "emacs.exe -Q" from CMD: starts a windows Emacs, but it's attached to

> 3) "runemacs.exe -Q -nw" from CMD: starts a detached console Emacs (i.e., I
> see nothing because there's no window)
> 4) "runemacs.exe -Q" from CMD: starts a detached windows Emacs (CMD is
> available to use).

> 5) "emacs.exe -Q -nw" from a shortcut: stars a console Emacs.
> 6) "emacs.exe -Q" from a shortcut: Stars a windows Emacs, but there's a
> visible console.
> 7) "runemacs.exe -Q -nw" from a shortcut: starts a console Emacs, but the
> console is hidden, so nothing is visible.
> 8) "runemacs.exe -Q" from a shortcut: starts a windows Emacs.
