Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!

Thanks for the reply Eric. I actually tried this using bash first but I
think I maybe see what is wrong.
First, I added the following Environment Variable
SHELLOPTS=igncr
I then Opened Cygwin (envoking bash) and issued the SET command to see
the environment. As you can see below, the SHELLOPTS variable does not
have igncr included
SHELLOPTS=braceexpand:emacs:hashall:histexpand:history:igncr:interactive
-comments:monitor
So, I just need to figure out why it's not picking it up (this must be
read only variable) and then how to get it added. Once I do that, I can
hopefully run an appropriate test.
Thanks,
Mark
