My task has three main parts: create a simulation file to run, run it, and plot some graphs. I'm guessing I did the creating the simulation file part in less time than I've spent so far on trying to run it (which was going to be 1 line). > Another thing is crossing the Windows/cygwin boundary: > you need to be clearly aware which shell is being > currently executed and observe calling, escaping and > naming conventions appropriately.

I think I'll go on to finishing up the plotting part and then come back to this. Perhaps I'll have had some insights by then; perhaps someone will have seen something I haven't seen and post it (e.g., why the bash verb didn't work for me), or perhaps I'll do some sort of glue .bat file. I just hate to add files when they don't seem as if they should be necessary. Thanks for your help. I'll let everyone know if I discover the magic incantation; feel free to let me know if you get sudden insight into what my problem might be.
