I have tried to open a bash shell.  I've tried 'bash --login -i' as in
the bat file.  All I get is another DOS command prompt.  Thinking mabe
that did it, I tried several of cygwin commands like 'ls', 'pwd', and
'env'.  I get no output and another DOS commad prompt.

The check for missing programs indicated all were found.
