Dear Holger,

	I can get your suggestion of 

ps |grep XWin >/dev/null ||XWin -multiwindow
-clipboard -silent-dup-error

to work from the Cygwin Command Prompt as well as from
a script file (.sh). I am now trying to copy and
modify my startxwin.bat file – to see if it can do
this. So I replaced the line 

%RUN% XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error

Where the file starts the XWin with something like 

%RUN% ps |grep XWin >/dev/null ||XWin -multiwindow
-clipboard -silent-dup-error

To this I get “The system cannot find the path
specified” 

Now if I change that to 

%RUN% "ps |grep XWin >/dev/null ||XWin -multiwindow
-clipboard -silent-dup-error"

I get an error dialog from Run.exe telling me that it
could not find ps |grep XWin >/dev/null ||XWin
-multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error  anywhere

I donÂ’t know what I am doing wrong. 
Thanks a lot for your help and time,
O.O.
