[Andrew Dalgleish] You need to either * add this line to your CONFIG.SYS (not autoexec.bat) * edit the "Initial Environment" field in the "Memory" tab in the properties of the shortcut you use to start CygWin32 - 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".
