Windows command prompt and lilypond 2.6 native windows

[Art Hixson]

Typing lilypond at the Windows command prompt produces no result.  
Whereas, from the Cygwin console I get the default sample .ly file.
I can compile a .ly file from Cygwin but not from the Windows prompt.  Why?

It seems the only way I can send a .ly file to the Windows install is by 
dragging the file icon to the Lilypond icon on the desktop.  That's 
really painfully awkward!

I really like jEdit,  because it's cultivated for Lilypond and Python, 
but I have to have Bash there just to run it anyway.  It can be pointed 
to the Windows install, of course. But I was much happier with the 
overall way things worked when Lilypond was installed in Cygwin.  I'd 
love to have Linux up on this machine, but don't have that option.
