I configured my Emacs for code completion and other help using this link (from another question here on SO). I am a complete newbie to emacs.

Can anyone tell me what should I change so it (rope, ropemacs, pymacs, yasnippet etc) picks up symbols of IronPython modules for code completion and snippets.

Also I want to map:

C-x RET - to invoke IronPython.exe and not Python.exe (any clue on how to do that)

PS I am using Emacs with Cygwin on XP machine
