Here is how I have mine setup:

[Cygwin.bat]
@ECHO OFF
SET MAKE_MODE=UNIX
SET CYGWIN=tty
SET TERM=ansi
SET HOME=/usr/fred
set PWD=/
SET PATH=d:\cygwin\bin;d:\cygwin\usr\local\bin;%PATH%
bash

[.bashrc]
HOME=/usr/fred; export HOME
TERM=ansi; export TERM
LD=ld; export LD
BISONLIB=c:/cygnus/cygwin-b20/share/; export BISONLIB
/usr/local/games/fortune
cd /
cd source
cd emu
PS1='\w >'; export PS1HOME=/usr/fred; export HOME
alias quit=exit

Make sure the .bashrc is in the HOME directory.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks,

Matt Minnis
