Ehud
Thanks for your help and your patience.
1. I've set the 1st line in my /etc/profile to "set -x"
2. When I invoke the cygwin shell now I see what happens.
3. M-x, "getenv RET BASH_ENV RET" does not do anything, as this function can
not be called from command line. I can do "setenv" and tried to set it to
/etc/profile again.
4. I run the ./runemacs.exe from cygwin prompt.
5. I can see that there is error when emacs starts, at the bottom:
Error in init file: Symbol's value as variable is void: BASH_ENV.
Is there another place that I've to set this env variable ?
6. Attached please find my "profile" and ".emacs" files if you would like to
have a look at them.
I'll appreciate if you could point what could be wrong ?
Thanks again
Roman

Debug it. Check that you really set the Emacs env by M-x getenv RET
BASH_ENV RET. Also check the values of the Emacs variables:
`sh-shell-file' and `shell-file-name' (they should be "bash" NOT "sh").
Add set -x as the 1st line of your /etc/profile and check if it is
called or any later command changes the PATH.
Just to give you hope, I can tell you that it works fine for me and
other users.
Ehud.
