6.1.cvs? How is that possible?
I found an old ref to this in .bashrc. Commented it out.... started fresh.. Ran grass63. Saw the same error. (hung splash screen) Looked at GRASS* in my environment and saw a ref to 6.1 cvs again. My hunch is that I'm making a very simple mistake. Would a re-install be easier than debugging this?

If the GRASS_VERSION is due to something in .bashrc or similar,
re-installing won't have any effect.

/etc/profile, /etc/bashrc, /etc/bash.bashrc, ~/.profile,
~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_login, ~/.alias or ~/.grass.bashrc
may contain settings which could affect this.

Also, if you have an old version of GRASS installed anywhere, remove
it.

A reinstall of cygwin and grass63 seemed the best route. And, now all sorts of grass63 windows open just fine. My hunch (not proven) is that I had skipped this step in the install. It might help future installers if the source of #3 and #5 steps is clarified.

   For installation of Cygwin, see http://geni.ath.cx/grass.html#toc5.
   These instructions can be used, but at step #3 use
   http://grass.ibiblio.org/grass62/binary/mswindows/ (or a local
   mirror <http://grass.ibiblio.org/mirrors.php>) instead of
   http://geni.ath.cx/grass. Also, in step #5 the version is 6.2.2-1
   instead of 6.0.cvs-1, and there's no grass.bat script.

Now, with spearfish data installed, there's much to learn. And, more documentation to read.

Many thanks to all who answered my questions.
