Hi - I'm having trouble setting up RXVT on WinXP. I've got the following shortcut set up to launch RXVT: C:\viper\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -sl 1500 -fn "Lucida Console-12" -bg black -fg yellow -sr -e bash --rcfile "/cygdrive/c/viper/.bashrc" My $HOME directory is set to the following, as seen in the RXVT: ptomsic:bin> echo $HOME /cygdrive/c/viper and as seen in the DOS prompt: C:\>set HOME HOME=/cygdrive/c/viper When I launch the shortcut for RXVT, all is good but it opens in "/usr/bin" If i type `cd ~` then I lose my $PATH, or so it would seem. If i `echo $PATH` it looks like it's in tact, but i can't do simple things, like `ls` or `which ping` or `who` Why would it be okay when I first launch the RXVT shortcut, but then simply changing to my $HOME directory causes everything to start misbehaving? thanks - Paul -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
