I tried using org-babel-sh at work, where I run emacs under Microsoft Windows,
but only received an oddly-formatted message about (quote sh) not being
recognised as a command. After mucking around with org-babel-sh.el, I modified
the call to shell-command-on-region, changing the hard-coded "sh" to (as I
recall) "cmd /k"). This looks promising, but I wonder if there are any other
changes I'll need to make. Also, would it be better to adapt org-babel-sh to
handle Microsoft's "shell", or to implement a new org-babel "language"?

Thanks for your advice,
Mike

  Hi Mike,
  
  The command used by org-babel-sh is now configurable through the
  `org-babel-sh-command' variable so you should be able to set it in your
  initialization using a line like the following
  
  (setq org-babel-sh-command "cmd /k")

  ,----[org-babel-sh-command]
  | org-babel-sh-command is a variable defined in `org-babel-sh.el'.
  | Its value is "sh"
  | 
  |   This variable is potentially risky when used as a file local variable.
  | 
  | Documentation:
  | Command used to invoke a shell.  This will be passed to
  |   `shell-command-on-region'
