Yep.  This is correct.

Ok, so, you are right.  This is a different problem.  I don't even get to 
type anything.  Also, if I take the -once option out, it will continue to 
connect and disconnect forever.

Sorry, I thought that I had responded.  Here is what happens:

jic 01:01:02-> ssh -Y cnpsip@13.142.1.83
Password:
Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding.
Last login: Thu Jul  9 01:55:18 2009 from jic.na.xerox.ne
Sun Microsystems Inc.   SunOS 5.10      Generic January 2005
[cnpsip@e6psip ~]: xclock

and then, the prompt locks an no xclock display.  On the cygwin dos screen, 
I see the following message:

jic 01:00:48-> xinit

Xlib:  extension "MIT-SHM" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "MIT-SHM" missing on display ":0.0".

All questions have been answered. :-)

thanks for all the help.
