Hello,

 From time to time, I like use a Windows script file (VBS, JS) with 
CScript/WSH. Is it possible to execute a script as a command from the 
Cygwin shell without having to specify the 'interpreter' (CScript)? This 
would then operate like a Perl or BASH script.

I've tried using a 'shebang' approach like "#!<path>cscript" but the 
CScript interpreter chokes. If I comment the shebang I get an error from 
the shell.

Thanks

Simon
