Thank you! This works beautifully at the bash prompt without all the hassle
about on-ing and off-ing XWin so it is already a great easement.

So I tried rewriting as a one-line cmd script* at the Cygwin root directory:
@bin\xinit.exe bin\xterm -- -nolock -multiwindow
(and then variations beginning with start / run) and got an error message ending in:
bin/xinit: giving up
bin/xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
bin/xinit: server error

Is there some way I can incorporate your one line  into a Windows command single line
that starts the xterm process, rather than the 4-line Windows script at the top of this post?
