Peter,

First off, I don't see any alias definitions in the above file.  Secondly,
"set A=B" is *not* bash syntax, it's cmd.exe syntax.  This will not work
in bash.  Thirdly, even if it did, you'd need to use "$xemacs" instead of
"xemacs", for example, to invoke it.

Since I'm picking on xemacs, I'll use that as an example.  Try either
	alias xemacs='c:/PROGRA~1/XEmacs/XEmacs-21.4.10/i586-pc-win32/xemacs.exe&'
Or
	xemacs() { 'c:/PROGRA~1/XEmacs/XEmacs-21.4.10/i586-pc-win32/xemacs.exe'& }
	export xemacs

Either should work.  Depending on your bash settings, you may not need the
"export" above.  For details, "man bash"/"info bash".
	Igor
