I was told I was doing it wrong, i.e.

"You're not supposed to launch startxwin.bat from a Cygwin prompt, you are
supposed to double-click the batch file from Windows Explorer or you can
launch startxwin.bat from a Windows command prompt (not a Cygwin command
prompt).

To keep you updated, when I did it correctly, the same result occurs, i.e.
the main window appears, acqua-marine background, with a small iconized
window labeled bash.  The main window is labeled Cygwin/XFree86.  The cursor
has the pattern of something designating the corner of something.  If I
click on the icon labeled bash, it disappears.  If I left click in the main
window, I get a menu which includes xterm.  If I click on that, I get an
icon labeled untitled, if I click on that, or click anywhere, it disappears.
The suiggestion was made last night to try the previous version of XFree,
which I will do.  I do wish to note that I have the new version of XFree on
my home computer, running Win98, and this does not occur.  This does not
occur even if I incorrectly call the batch file from the Cygwin prompt.
Will keep the list updated, and I appreciate the patience and help.
