I set it, cf below. Maybe a trivial mistake?
Here are the results of my tests with xmaxima.bat, containing:
rem # set MAXIMA_PREFIX=c:/programs/maxima-5.9
set MAXIMA_PREFIX=n:/ast/alg/maxima-5.9
set XMAXIMA_MAXIMA=%MAXIMA_PREFIX%/lib/maxima/5.9.0rc1/binary-gcl/maxima.exe
start %ROSETBAS%\alg\maxima-5.9\xmaxima\xmaxima.exe
where ROSETBAS is defined in autoexec.bat as "set ROSETBAS=n:\ast".
Compared to your xmaxima.bat, it was just necessary to add the full path to
xmaxima.exe.
With this xmaxima.bat, everything seems to work fine, except describe: full test
is OK, 2d and 3d plots are OK, rotating 3d plot works, so I would say it is
perfect to 99.99% The only problem remaining for me is describe, which breaks
down consistently, saying:
(C1) describe (diff);

Second test with maxima.bat you give above, modified by replacing c:\programs by
n:\ast\alg:
rem # set MAXIMA_PREFIX=c:/programs/maxima-5.9
set MAXIMA_PREFIX=n:/ast/alg/maxima-5.9
start %MAXIMA_PREFIX%/lib/maxima/5.9.0rc1/binary-gcl/maxima.exe -eval
which gives the message:

Tests were done under Win98SE only, I will try to test it under WinNT to-morrow
