I just installed b17.1, and so far things are overall really great!

However, I am trying to get the ~/ functionality from bash that I am
used to. In my .bashrc file, I have the following line:

export HOME=/usr/rjf

which is indeed where I want ~ to point.

After starting up bash, I see that the above is really in my
environment. Issuing the command cd ~/source, bash goes away for a while
(30+ seconds), then comes back with:

bash: c:usrrjf/source: No such file or directory

which is quite strange to me. Here is my mount output:

Device           Directory           Type        Flags
\\.\tape1:       /dev/st1            native      no-mixed,text!=binary
\\.\tape0:       /dev/st0            native      no-mixed,text!=binary
\\.\b:           /dev/fd1            native      no-mixed,text!=binary
\\.\a:           /dev/fd0            native      no-mixed,text!=binary
c:               /                   native      mixed,text!=binary

and I have installed b17.1 in:

	c:\usr\rjf\b17.1\

Can someone help me out?
Thanks!
