Why are you starting emacs from cygwin.bat?

I am not. You are the one that suggested that by using it one would avoid the cmd.exe box. And the only time that is a problem is when starting up cygwin and only then.

'run.exe' is designed to be run directly from the Windows GUI (not from
any console/terminal).  If you've already started a console or terminal,
it's really not needed.
Why would you use a MS Windows GUI to run a cygwin program?

I guess you got confused since there were two different points being
discussed.
Regarding the dos box, when starting cygwin initially.  Because we
already have a putty terminal emulator which is superior.

cheers
