Thanks!  No, I hadn't, and that works great.

I still find the usage syntax to be misleading though:
Usage: cygstart [OPTION]... FILE [ARGUMENTS]

What are ARGUMENTS if not to be passed to the execution of FILE?  (For 
people relatively new to the nuances of cygwin/Linux (like myself), '--' 
is a pretty obscure feature.)


Cheers,
