Maybe you mean it doesn't 'only' display environment variables, because it
sure prints out a great amount of the same stuff env does (PATH, etc). But,
it does not print out the dreaded 'f=' that using 'set' does. So that is a
happy revelation. However, it is curious that this little value only shows up
using 'set' while cygwin is running...
Anyway, having been enlightened I will look forward to using 'env' to check
what environment variables are in memory now.

Thanks. I feel much better now. :)
