>Barry, it works flawlessly. Thanks immensely!

You are very welcome.

But I forgot to export ThisTerm, otherwise it is always unset when
a subshell is launched.

# Only set ThisTerm if not set.
if [ -z "${ThisTerm}" ]
then
  if [ ${PPID} = 1 ]
  then
    ThisTerm=cmd
  else
    if [ "$(cat /proc/${PPID}/exename)" = '/usr/bin/mintty' ]
    then
      ThisTerm=mintty
    else
      # not minty, not cmd, so xterm
      ThisTerm=xterm
    fi
  fi
  export ThisTerm
fi

One could test exename for /usr/bin/xterm instead of assigning by
the process of elimination.
