Problem: bash does not find executables in the current directory

Solution: define a HOME variable and have it available to bash when it
starts (try 
        bash$ printenv | grep HOME
to test). Then create a .bashrc with notepad (CR/LF or not doesn't matter)
and put it
in the directory pointed by HOME with the following lines (at least):

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/H-i386-cygwin32/bin:/usr/H-i386-cygwin32/lib/gcc-lib
/://F/WINNT35/system32://F/WINNT35://C/DOS://C/UTILITY:.
export PATH

NOTE1: do not create a .bashrc.txt instead of .bashrc
NOTE2: notice the dot after the colon - that means "look in the current dir too"

If you want more info look at the message "NEWBIE PAIN: the universal
remedy" I sent on 21/10/1996.

Have fun,
