Cygwin install creates a "Cygwin Terminal" icon on your desktop in in 
your Programs menu. You can drag or (with Control-) copy it anywhere in 
menus where you want it. Is that what you need?

$ type print
print ist /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/print
So you effectively tried to print files called "here is ..." with a 
Windows tool.
You probably meant this instead:
echo "here is $k"
