Helge:   Thank you for the explanation.
Phil:  Thank you for the link.  Since I am not running lilypond in command 
mode. I use frescobaldi as front  end to  execute lilypond.  I run both 
lilypond-windows.exc and lilypond.exc and I don't see any difference. I can see 
the log file under frescobaldi.

This is covered quite nicely in the documentation:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/usage/command_002dline-usage

"Note to Windows users: By default lilypond.exe outputs all progress 
information to the command window,lilypond-windows.exe does not and returns 
a prompt, with no progress information, immediately at the command line. 
The'-dgui' 
option can be used in this case to redirect output to a log file."
