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
