Thank you so much for the breakthrough in troubleshooting this.
Indeed, I invoked 'emacs -q' and in the *scratch* buffer I typed:

(setenv "SHELL" "/bin/sh.exe")

and then executed <M-x shell> and bingo - it worked!

But now I need to know why the same statement wouldn't work from my
.emacs - is it possible that evaluation stops prior to reaching this
statement (again, only in 21.2, not in 19.34...). If this is the case,
then I am even more puzzled since I encapsulated my original .emacs
within the following:

(setq debug-on-error t)
< original .emacs >
(setq debug-on-error nil)

to enable debug - and emacs does not report ANY errors.

What am I missing here?

Thank you so much!
