CORRECTION To: cygwin AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Earnie, I noticed this before as well, although I use a different toolbar. I found that just exiting and restarting the toolbar "fixes" the problem. I think that when you restart the toolbar, it will see the new environment setting(s) and will then be able to pass it on to its child processes.
