Alternatively, rename the script to abcd.sh, then run the script again. 
You'll get the familiar "choose a program to run this file" dialog. 
Tell it to use c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe.  It will then run the script the
first time in another window, but on subsequent runs it will run within
the calling window, just like a Windows batch file.

Yet another solution is to download the 4DOS/NT command shell from
www.jpsoft.com, then set the ".sh" environment variable to
c:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe.  This lets you call the script without the
extension: "abcd" instead of "abcd.sh".  Since I run 4DOS/NT all the
time, I use Bourne shell scripts any time I need something more powerful
than a batch file.
