yes this worked thanks
Unfortunately egrep seems to run via a windows cmd shell

My cygwin shell can do a "cd /usr/dict"

Unfortunately the cmd shell need a "cd c:\cygwin\usr\dict"

So I have had to put the words list in a file called words located at 
c:\usr\dict
This approach is far from satisfactory but works

Is there any way I tell tell emacs to use egrep through a cygwin shell 
not a cmd shell?
