The 'cp' (copy) command is telling you it expects a second argument,
a destination file to copy to:

     cp file1 file2

which copies 'file1' to 'file2'

In your case, 'file1' is: cp $NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclex/xyplot/
xy04n.ncl

but you're not providing 'file2' -- the place to copy to.

In the directions you're following: http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/
cygwin.shtml#TestNCL

notice that there is a 'dot' or 'period' -- the character '.' --
in the command. That 'dot' means 'your current directory'

That's the part you're missing -- the place to copy to. Good luck.

-Rick.
