As said in a previous email, I you want something that translated the command line arguments between the two environments: bash script seems the simpler way to do that. Otherwise, I wonder if we can use the maple Windows command line `cmaple.exe' or maple interface with bash as subshell. If I lauch cmaple under Cygnus/bash and hit the RETURN key twice, I get the message: syntax error, control character '\e' unexpected if I do the same thing under DOS I get no message. Beside the cursor mechanism seems bogus under bash. Furthermore if I type `system(ls);' (under bash) I get a Blue Screen, under DOS `system(dir);' works.
