Well turn me purple, wrap me in a curtain and call me Garfield it works!!
I thought the system translates directory separators but it turns out I was
wrong for XFree - thanks for leading me true!

Get rid of rose.. get rid of rose.. (ehm you might notice that I am
working one of the Rational enemies) ;-) Or well, maybe.. wrap rose
into a script to, so the environment variables is only set when
you start rose, or Xfree..
I think it should be (not "\"):
SET TERMCAP=/etc/termcap
SET TERMINFO=/lib/terminfo
set SHELL=/bin/bash.exe
set TERM=cygwin
what happens if you try bash instead of bash.exe?

Xfree desktop? click in twm menu?? ( it should be /bin/bash.exe it
should try to start ) What happens if you type the xtermish stuff in
the xterm popped up??
Its not so that you have another xterm somewhere on the system??

Shouldn't be..
