how is cygstart different from cmd /c or how to have cygstart start 'inline'?

Got a program that starts under cygstart, but I'd
like to be able to start it without starting up the program
in a new window..so was trying cmd /c.
I compared env's and noted both PATH and TMP had been
converted back to the backslash using case, so I
did that manually:
if ((usecmd)); then
export TMP=$(cygpath -w $TMP)
my newpath=""
my sep=""
readarray -t pathar < <(echo -E "$PATH"|tr ":" "\n")
for p in "${pathar[@]}"; do
n=$(cygpath -w "$p")
newpath="$newpath$sep$n"
#echo -E "newpath=$newpath"
sep=";"
done
export Path=$newpath
fi
But no luck in launching (cygstart case works):
cd "$ldir" && {
if ((usecmd)); then
'c:/windows/system32/cmd.exe' /c "$lpath" "${args[@]}"
else
cygstart "$lpath" "${args[@]}"
fi
}
So what else does cygstart do that I might setup
before a "cmd /c"
to get the target to run?
Or anyway to have cygstart run the command with its output in the
current window?
Thanks!
