Hi,
	I'm in the process of updating my gnu software to the latest release
level.  Rather than junking all the old release on my drive f: I'm
putting all the latest on drive d:, that way I'm never down.

	I've got Bash 1.47 on drive f: and I've been using it for some time 
with good results.  It's better than dos.

	I've just unzipped the new bash 2.03 (plus the new gnu ports) onto my
drive d:.  I've also copied my existing _bash start up files into
d:/djgpp.  I invoke Bash 2.03 using the same process as previous but
changing my dos bat files from f: to d: and my _bashrc file from f: to
d: both location and contents as appropriate.  It starts up fine but
whenever I hit the key 'e' it prints on the screen:-

"running _bashrc"
and if I hit return it does indeed re-run  the _bashrc file.

	All the  commands without an "e" seem fine I had to change some dot.inf
to dot.info to use them.

	I must be doing something silly.  I'll re-read the readme files, if any
of you have any ideas please reply.

		Regards Ian.
PS
	I put a unix version of bash 2.03 on a unix box at work (I ran make)
without difficulties and used my _bashrc file there okay.
