BTW, works great! Here's the completed .BAT file preface with added error
handling so the CMD window doesn't auto-close if the bash code exits with
an error.

@echo off
set PATH=C:\cygwin64\bin;%PATH%
PUSHD %~dp0
type %0 | sed "0,/^---BASH SCRIPT FOLLOWS---/ d; s/\r*$//" | bash
if errorlevel 1 pause
exit

---BASH SCRIPT FOLLOWS---
...

I'll pursue associating a shell script with a file type
when I have more time.
