I'm trying to execute an external program compiled under cygwin from J.

I tried forms such as 

wd'winexec "c:\cygwin\home\Bill Harris\myprogram.exe c:\cygwin\howe\Bill
Harris\mydata.txt" sw_shownormal'

That flashes a new window on the screen temporarily and returns a 0, and  

   wd'qer'
command failed : 0

I suspect that winexec is starting a Windows command shell, not bash.
Is there a way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?  I searched the
Forum and didn't find anything.

Once I know how to do this, I may make it part of a form I want to
create, so I can save data into that data file, execute the external
program, and return to J for processing and showing the output.  To that
end, does any technique for doing this in Windows carry over to Linux or
OS X?

Thanks,

Bill
