It would.  (Only, your "st" script treats multiple arguments as multiple 
documents/programs to open, "start" uses the second and following arguments 
as arguments to the program/document to open.)

I see that you are using Windos 9x/ME.  Have you tried my "start", and if 
so, is it working?  I believe it is _supposed_ to work under Win9x, but 
we'd better make sure before this is included in cygutils...

Thanks,

     up in the dictionary under "L" and there it was - the meaning
     of life.  It was not what I expected.                  - Dogbert
