Subject: Windows *.exe and stderr in xemacs shell-mode fail to appear

I don't like the Windows DOS Prompt type command window and so I use 
xemacs shell-mode instead.  I have a Windows *.exe program that I think 
outputs to stderr.  When I run it in a shell-mode buffer, a new DOS 
Window is opened and all output goes to the DOS window and not the 
shell-mode buffer.  Anyone know how I can get the output to go to the 
shell-mode buffer instead?

To debug this I tried redirecting the output of the command.  The 
redirect seems to only work in a cygwin DOS Window 
(C:\cygwin\cygwin.bat) but not in shell-mode.  As far as I can tell, 
both use "bash -i" as as shell.

Here is a sample commandline:

./rave/bin/nb.exe -J-Xdebug 
-J-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8765 -userdir 
/cygwin/home/edwingo/.Creator 
-J-Dtoolbox.importStartDir=/cygwin/home/edwingo/ftp -J-Drave.preview 
-J-Drave.project.dumpclassloader -J-Drave.projectdebug  2>&1 > ~/ide.txt

One other piece of data is that I have another *.exe which does output 
to the shell-mode buffer.  It also opens a DOS window, but nothing 
appears there.  This is what I want.  I don't know enough about Win32 to 
understand why.  Any ideas?
