None of the above affects DOS/cmd.exe/command.com functionality.  It controls
bash/readline functionality.

Works fine for me.  The obvious question is, are you in the directory with 
'fileNAME.txt'?

That's a DOS/Windows question, not a Cygwin one.  So it's really off-topic
here.  However, there is no need to "set" anything for Windows to treat
file names in a case insensitive way.  It does that already (and really 
won't treat them any other way at the cmd/command prompt).  Your problem 
must actually be caused by something else on your machine.
