Hi;

I managed to get my script "word" to open up word with the path I typed 
on the command line in cygwin.

I am having trouble getting the same to work with excel.

I am win 2000 and using cygwin.

I made a script in /usr/local/bin called "excel".

The script will boot up excel, but not with the file I specified.  I get 
error messages saying that the file does not exist.  Between the "===" 
lines are the different contests I have tried for my "excel" script:


version 1
============================================================
exec "c:/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office/EXCEL.EXE" "cygpath -w $1"

===========================================================
version 2
exec "c:/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office/EXCEL.EXE" "@&"


Usage:

$ word /path/to/file.xls

Any ideas would be appreciated

Thanks

Steve
