The following worked fine for me: #!/bin/sh /pro/proE/bin/pro_batch.bat This is with the latest Cygwin (1.5.12) and W2K. The version of Pro/E is a bit out of date but it still popped up the GUI and sat there waiting for me to do something. The shell script didn't exit until I terminated the program/bat file.
