Yes, you are right, when using > #+begin_src sh It seems that I'm also running some bash shell! :-) Previously I was using the src block in this way: #+begin_src shell and here the shell seems to be com.exe. But I'm not sure if I'm halfway there with "sh"? I need to run the following MSYS2 command AND switch between two arguments (for building Emacs). \MSYS2\msys2_shell.cmd -mingw64 and \MSYS2\msys2_shell.cmd -msys. How could I achieve this within a src block? Thanks
