OK, one last thing, sorry. I did something wrong with the last test. If
I add c:\cygwin\bin and c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin to the Windows PATH
variable, then chere does work to open up an xterm!
So I guess the only question is: is there any way to avoid this
requirement? It would be helpful for me if I didn't have to add these to
the path. I'm not sure how chere is implemented, but could it just set
these variables before calling the xterm? Thanks again.
