I started modifying .bashrc because of the problem I'm having.  I tried this,
but the problem stays and some commands are not found.

Cool, thanks for the advice.  I may have misread the README and put %PATH% instead
(probably the case).

  You should also

>/mnt=/windows, then /mnt/system32 is C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32.  Since it's not

These are long shots suggested by various archive responses.

without this, when I use 'less' with 'ls' then it causes unreadable output.

correct! thank you again.

Of course the problem still exists!  (dammit jim)
