I think I've narrowed down the problem to the terminal emulator.

First - I did try modifying xhere to do a "cd $CHERE_DIR" (and then $NETWORK_PATH)
but neither variable worked.

I then noticed that if I start bash from a cmd.exe emulator (and adjust the path to
Include /bin), that I can see (and cd to) a mapped drive.  But I cannot "see" (via ls)
the mapped drive when using mintty.

From cmd.exe+bash: (Y: is the mapped drive)

I suspect that whatever is going on that affects "ls" and "cd" is also
affecting chere/xhere.

Not sure what the next step should be.
