Folks,
I have some windows BAT files that set some windows CMD environment 
variables.   I am hoping to run a shell under cygwin but when I run the BAT 
files from a shell prompt, the BAT file set variables are not exported to 
the parent shell.   Is there a way that I can have BAT file set variables 
visible in the calling environment?

Neil
