Hi, 

Thanks for your answers...

Unfortunately this, "cmd /c test.sh", and similar invocations give:
(bash is in /bin on my Cygwin).   

test: Searching for program: no such file or directory, c:/cygwin/bin/bash.exe 
-c c:/jklymak/test.sh
test: Searching for program: no such file or directory, cmd /c 
c:/jklymak/test.sh

I tried both bash and cmd as my shells, toggling between:

(defun set-shell-bash ()
  "Set the default shell to be bash."
  (interactive)
  (setq w32-quote-process-args ?\")
  (setq shell-file-name "bash")
  (setq process-coding-system-alist '(("bash" . undecided-unix)))
  (setenv "SHELL" shell-file-name) 
  (setq explicit-shell-file-name shell-file-name) 
  (setq explicit-bash-args '("--login" "-i")) ; see shell.el 
  (setq shell-command-switch "-c")
  (add-hook 'comint-output-filter-functions 'comint-strip-ctrl-m) 
  (message "Shell is now bash")
  (setq exec-path (cons "c:/cygwin/bin/" exec-path))
  (setq exec-path (cons "c:/cygwin/usr/local/bin/" exec-path))
  (setq exec-path (cons "c:/cygwin/usr/bin/" exec-path))
  )

(defun set-shell-cmd ()
  "Set the default shell to be cmd."
  (interactive)
  (setq w32-quote-process-args t)
  (setq shell-command-switch "/c")
  (setq shell-file-name "cmd")
  (setq explicit-shell-file-name shell-file-name)
  (setenv "SHELL" shell-file-name) 
  (setq comint-process-echoes t)
  (message "Shell is now cmd")
  )

Thanks again,

Cheers,  Jody
