That sounds relatively painless.  Making sure I have this straight:

    Cygwin shortcut in the Startup Folder

    C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\startxastir.bat starts up X-windows and
    Xastir with your modification.  Right?

In this case you don't end up with any BASH shell, right?

I'm thinking that a good modification to that would be to leave the
original xterm line in there but add another that starts up a second
xterm with a flag to it that invokes Xastir so that you can see any
messages that Xastir puts out to STDERR in that xterm:

run xterm -sl 1000 -sb -rightbar -ms red -fg yellow -bg black -e /usr/local/bin/xastir

Thanks for the info!  Hopefully that'll get Randy going.
