It would. (Only, your "st" script treats multiple arguments as multiple
documents/programs to open, "start" uses the second and following arguments
as arguments to the program/document to open.)
I see that you are using Windos 9x/ME. Have you tried my "start", and if
so, is it working? I believe it is _supposed_ to work under Win9x, but
we'd better make sure before this is included in cygutils...
Thanks,

I always wondered about the meaning of life. So I looked it
up in the dictionary under "L" and there it was - the meaning
of life. It was not what I expected. - Dogbert
