Assuming that the cygwin chere package is installed, open Explorer and paste the path into the address bar and click on go. Once the directory appears under folders, right click on it and select 'Bash Here'. This doesn't address all the possibilities of the original method, it is however quick to utilize with minimal setup. Brett ---------------------------------------------------------------- Brett C.
