I'm no windows expert, but as I understand it, the start command in
the CMD window is built in to the windows shell and is therefore not
accessible to cygwin programs. cygstart is the replacement. I use a
cygwin compiled XEmacs and so need to use cygstart to fire up
applications. Whether that applies to the OP, I do not know. It did
not occur to me at the time. Thanks for pointing it out.
