A Couple of easy questions that I can't find docs for: 1. what determines where my home dir is? Set an environment variable in the cygwin.bat before bash starts: set HOME=somewhere 2. does win32 bash use the same startup files (.bash_profile, etc) in the same manner as its unix brethren? It does. 3. if the answer to #2 is Yes then how do I make it read them. Maybe a flag on the bash invocation in the bat file? Once you've done 1., then put the dot files in the location pointed to. All should work fine (it has for me;-)) --- Bob McGowan i'm: bob dot mcgowan at artecon dot com Daniel Monjar / mailto:dmonjar AT orgtek DOT com Manager, Systems Organon Teknika - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help". - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
