No. I used the DOS set command, as discussed. This probably failed due to a
typo on my part, but I'm uncertain.

Thankyou for this info. Setx will be useful for me in the future because our
Windows PCs are locked down, and I cannot modify any Windows System
variables via the GUI.

As discussed, I'm unable to modify env variables this way because Windows
has been locked down.
I will be using the set command instead to suppress the warning on
individual scripts. This now appears to work correctly with CYGWIN, so my
problem seems to have been solved.
Cheers
