x can't find cygncurses5.dll in path

[John Zastrow <jcz at uwm dot edu>]

I'm trying X on cygwin (win2k) and just installed the freshest stuff I
came across.

startxwin.bat (in both cmd and cygwin) throw a system error that says,
"The ... cygnucurses5.dll could not be found in the specified path."

The screen dump is:

A search finds the following file c:\cygwin\bin\cygncurses6.dll. That
directory is in the path.

Can I just tell it to use cygncurses6.dll? How?

TIA
