Thanks.  Now if I can just figure out how to get bash to do file completion of
WIN32 pathnames.  I often am trying to type "word /v/Someth<TAB>" to
commandline launch word with a remote filesystem file whose name I don't
completely know.  Damn windows gui people think that to control document
revisions you have to keep extending the file name ad infinitum.
If I type v:Some<TAB> it doesn't expand.  If I type /v/ and then don't go back
and change /v to v:, word barfs.
