Thank you, Jambunathan.

1/ I'm running Emacs 24.3.1 (i686-pc-cygwin) of 2013-08-14 on moufang; it's Windows Emacs built into cygwin, so you don't have to have X11 installed in cygwin for graphical Emacs.

2/ I forgot to say I'm a running mintty 1.1.3 so "open" is not available, I can use cygstart instead.

3/ I will try the code you provide and I'll commit the list the progress I get.

4/ So far, cygwin+emacs+orgmode+python+perl+latex it's very nice, specially by the fact that you can propagate an  ultra-customized working-environment as easy as just copy, no doubt, a very big folder.

Miguel.

Any reason why this one is preferable windows's default "open".  Is
cygstart a recent addition or is it available even on older
distributions.

ODT files are zip files (can be opened in archive-mode) or they can be
opened in doc-view.

Use of 'system has generally not proved to be problematic in practice.
I think it is possible to accomplish what you want without touch or
modifying that particular line.

It would be a good idea.

But, does the Emacs come from cygwin distribution or is it NT Emacs
(ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/).

Sorry, I am unable to provide concrete feedback.

As sometime user of Cygwin + Windows, I found that Cygwin is a pain and
started using native Windows Emacs and Gnu Win32 libraries.

I have now moved to Debian now.
