     Couple of queries on win32 bash .

     1). I can't seem to get the man pages to work , (everthinh else seem
     OK). although I've created
     a profile file in /etc , with the MANPATH var in it. Getting my /etc
     to mount onto /, I keep getting device busy??.
     Under bash is the profile "/etc/profile" or "/etc/~profile".
     2).
     I was wondering, can you call a dos batch prog with a return/ exit
     value on it. I tried to call a dos prog but to no avail.

     Thanks.....
