You might try putting

   putenv("COMSPEC=C:\\whatever\\bash.exe");

in your .jedrc.  If that fails, try:

define _win32_get_helper_app_name ()
{
   variable s, h;

   s = "bash.exe";
   h = dircat (Jed_Bin_Dir, "w32/w32shell.exe");

   return sprintf ("%s %s", h, s);
}

I found that I could not run pipes under win32 without a helper app
such as g32shell.  Are you experiencing problems with them?

Have you considered compiling a cygwin version of jed?  You will have
to compile a cygwin version of slang as well.  Both slang and jed
should build under cygwin using

   ./configure; make

Good luck,
