First dialog that popped up had system variable edit buttons greyed out.

But when I went in "the old way", so to speak, i.e. via "System
properties" and "Environment variables", I got the same dialog but with
the system variables enabled.

Then I put C:\ProgramFiles\ezwinports at the start of the system
enviroment variable "Path".

When I started a fresh emacs rgrep worked just as well as it does on
linuxen and macs.

Wow! That took 9 years, but I finally got there! :-)

Thanks again, Eli!
