Thanks, that was definitely the problem.  When you update the FAQ, it would
be great if you could explain why this symptom only occurs within BASH.  If
I'm in a regular WinNT command window (with the same active path) and type a
command that doesn't exist, it says:  "The name specified is not recognized
as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."  I
don't understand why the behavior would be different between the two shells.

Cheers,
ALF
