OK, one last thing, sorry. I did something wrong with the last test. If 
I add c:\cygwin\bin and c:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin to the Windows PATH 
variable, then chere does work to open up an xterm!

So I guess the only question is: is there any way to avoid this 
requirement? It would be helpful for me if I didn't have to add these to 
the path. I'm not sure how chere is implemented, but could it just set 
these variables before calling the xterm? Thanks again.
