The shell= line goes in the config.sys file, not the autoexec.bat
file.  My copy of the FAQ says verbatim:

   At this point, you should be able to look under the start menu and
select "Cygwin32 Beta 19" (or whatever you named it).  This will pop up
a bash shell with all special environment variables set up for you.  If
you are running Windows 95 and are faced with the error message "Out of
environment space", you need to increase the amount of environment
space in your config.sys and try again.  Adding the line
`shell=C:\command.com /e:4096 /p' should do the trick if `C:' is your
system drive letter.

The FAQ is updated/corrected every so often.  Have you bothered
checking to see if you have the latest?
