I have been told that I should upgrade to a newer version. Where can I get the latest stable version of bash? Among the reasons I want to upgrade is that it seems to hang when I try to run a non-existent command, e.g. home $ run_non_existing Similarly the type command seems to hang. I have a very long $PATH, and it includes certain directories needed for Windows that I suspect are irrelevant to bash. Is there a standard way to not have them on the bash path? I am also looking for man and the man pages. Specifically I would like to see all the predefined symbols I can use to set the prompt in PS1. I am also looking for advice about how to port ksh scripts to bash. Finally, when I run perl in bash @INC is only . the current directory, even though in a DOS box or the output of perl -V shows that it also should include c:/Perl/lib and c:/Perl/site/lib. Is this related to bash somehow? If people suggest this I will include my .bashrc and output of env but I wanted to avoid too long a post.
