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,
