For example, no matter where I am in the file system, typing cd ~ will take me to my home directory. I've tried to create a symbolic link. Of course the symbolic link is only valid in the directory where the symbolic link exists, and not from anywhere in the file system. tim -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Directory-Aliasing-tf4079938.html#a11596212 Sent from the Cygwin Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
