The attached problem is the result of telling NT Emacs that the pathname of the shell 
to use is /bin/sh, which NT Emacs cannot be expected to understand as it is not a Unix 
 app. As for launching NT Emacs form bash, I can do this with no problem.

I may be mistaken but doesn't the agent application have to be a Cygwin app, which NT 
Emacs is not? I did at one time try to use ssh-agent with NT Emacs launched from a 
bash shell and it did not work. I ended up using the cygwin version of XEmacs to 
access the XEmacs CVS server, using ssh-agent.
