Well, this is what I checked first (I have read all the messages from July regarding delays caused by name lookups for DOS-style path names). Anyway, this is what I get in a newly opened CMD.EXE window: Microsoft(R) Windows NT(TM) (C) Copyright 1985-1996 Microsoft Corp. D:\>echo %PATH% D:\Perl\5.00502\bin\MSWin32-x86-object;D:\Perl\5.00502\bin;D:\WINNT\system32;D:\WINNT And this is from a fresh bash window launched via cygnus.bat: Cygnus Cygwin32 B19 bash-2.01$ echo $PATH /Cygnus/B19/H-i386-cygwin32/bin://D/Perl/5.00502/bin/MSWin32-x86-object://D/Perl/5.00502/bin://D/WINNT/system32://D/WINNT bash-2.01$ But even if I had a stale network drive in PATH, this wouldn't explain why the prompt is often delayed when I just hit on an empty line -- why should the shell search the PATH when there's no command to execute and the prompt is a constant string?!
