D'oh!  This is what this file originally said.  It was all

alias x=y
export x

When this failed to work on my new Cygwin installation, I changed them
all to

export x=y

That still didn't work, so I changed them back ... to "set".  D'oh.
That was my own stupid fault.  Anyway, that wasn't working, but now it
seems to be.  I just did 'source ~/.bashrc' again, and all seems well.

I'll double check this on my home system, where I did *not* tamper
with the .bashrc file.

Thanks for all your help on this.

Can you give me a hint how to add some directories to my PATH and
MANPATH variables in the .bashrc?

Thanks *very* much!
