Hello, Ian:
I did the above also, and it works fine.
All I have to do is man bash and less comes up with the BASH manual, but
you have to have bash.1 in your info directory. Do you have a file called
bash.1 [note the 1]
It works fine for me. If you have trouble gettting bash.1 let me know.
And I have a solid BASH installation that works with or without command.com.
I owe is to help from Martin Stromberg.
Would you like to see my config.sys file I use for my bash (no command.com)
configuration?
There is no trick to it at all if you want to work bash with command.com.
