I want a bash / shell script that I can run that will go into dos mode,
and from there run a .bat or a .cmd script automatically.
After much googl'ing and experimenting, I cannot quite get it to run a
dos shell and run a .bat or .cmd.
any help would be appreciated.
J.V.

If you have a .bat file named foo.bat, then you can run
simply by:
foo.bat
from a bash command line or shell script file. You can pass
arguments as well. There is no automatic conversion between
Windows and cygwin/Unix-style paths, so you may find the
cygpath utility helpful.
I am not sure what "going into dos mode" would mean, but you
can also run cmd.exe from the command line by typing:
cmd
In the case of both cmd and foo.bat, their directories need
to be in your search path, or else offered explicitly.
