Thanks.

It looks like I've missed the important clue: you are trying to invoke
ansi-term, is that right?  And the shell is just what Emacs asks you
about a program to run in the terminal?  In that case, the error you
see is because ansi-term cannot work on Windows, as it needs a Unix
terminal driver and programs such as stty to support that.

Sorry I didn't spot that before: I was reading the body of your mail,
but missed the Subject line.
