Dear All,
    I am trying to create a "Bash Here" utility that will allow me to open a
Bash window in any directory by right clicking in the window and selecting
"Bash Here" (similar to the "Command Prompt Here" Microsoft Powertoys
utility). To do this I need to be able to cd to a given directory from the
bash command line, for example:

bash "cd /cygdrive/c/myfolder" where "myfolder is a variable.

    How can I do this?

    Thanks,
        Hamish
