Windows command prompt and lilypond 2.6 native windows

Typing lilypond at the Windows command prompt produces no result. Whereas, from the Cygwin console I get the default sample .ly file. I can compile a .ly file from Cygwin but not from the Windows prompt. Why? It seems the only way I can send a .ly file to the Windows install is by dragging th
