By the time that pushd got the argument the backslashes had been removed and pushd passed to setenv more than one argument thus the complaint. You'll have to modify the source of tcsh to fix this problem. Earnie. P.S.: This problem would exist on UNIX if the directory contained spaces. --- Steve Kelem wrote: > I'm running tcsh 6.09.00 from the Cygwin 1.0 release on NT 4.0 SP6. > When I type > pushd /c/My\ Download\ Files/Cygnus/Xfree/ > it responds: > /c/My Download Files/Cygnus/Xfree / > setenv: Too many arguments. > % which pushd > pushd: shell built-in command. > % pwd > /c/My Download Files/Cygnus/Xfree > > This indicates that it works, but the complaint is odd. > > Steve Kelem > > begin:vcard > n:Kelem;Steve > tel;fax:408-399-8905 > tel;work:408-335-2718 > x-mozilla-html:FALSE > url:http://www.adaptivesilicon.com > org:Adaptive Silicon, Inc. > adr:;;985 University Ave., Suite 31;Los Gatos;CA;95032-7639;U.S. > version:2.1 > email;internet:kelem@adaptivesilicon.com > title:Chief Scientist > fn:Steve Kelem > end:vcard > > > -- > Want to unsubscribe from this list? > Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
