On my Win2K box, it is 'windows-nt'.  I may be able to try from Win98.

cmd.exe is just fine

dir says 'CMD.EXE', but 'cmd.exe' works.  Windows is case-insensitive.
Win98 may actually use command.com.  I'll have to check on that one.

I'm assuming that 'cmd.exe' worked by itself because it's in my PATH. 
If Xemacs always uses your system PATH, I think it would be safe to 
assume that cmd.exe would be in there.  If not, the user should add the 
system32 directory to their path.
