Thanks Igor,

It worked great, and Harold this just seems cleaner than the approach
you gave.  This way the windows shortcut is pointing directly at
XWin.exe and there is no excess overhead associated with starting a bash
shell up.

If anyone cares, the PATH variable for Win2K is set by 
    right clicking 'my computer'
    properties
    advanced tab
    environment variables
    system variables
