Re: undo (C-/) for terminal version of emacs not working


C-/ is a key sequence, but it is not a character sequence. The character sequence Emacs expects is the single character with octal value 037. Almost all terminals send this character when the key sequence C-_ is typed. Many terminals also send this sequence when typing C-- (unshifted _) or C-7 or sometimes even C-/. The Windows Console "terminal" supports none of these extra key sequences.

If you really miss typing C-/, I recommend using PuTTYcyg instead of the console window.
