Error using cygstart command with option arguments: "cygstart: bad argument"

Hi all,
I tried to use cygstart to execute bash with the "-c"
option to execute a command and then terminate.
Here's what I get:
$ cygstart bash -c echo Hi There
cygstart: bad argument -c: unknown option
$ cygstart bash -c "echo Hi There"
cygstart: bad argument -c: unknown option
$ cygstart bash "-c echo Hi There"
cygstart: bad argument -c echo Hi There: unknown
option
Is this my misunderstanding of the syntax of cygstart
or something else?
TIA for any info/RTFM/help you can provide.
Peter
