The latter command works fine if I type it from an xterm, but it doesn't 
work if I type it from a bash CMD window. (Nothing happens). I am always 
running the X server. Thanks for your help! I attached cygcheck -svr if 
that is relevant.

Incidentally, in attempting to write this message, I found out that any 
message with "xterm" in the subject line is getting bounced from the list.
