Nope:
duane AT USD22C821 ~
$ sh
\[\033]0;\w\007
\033[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\]
$ d:/cygwin/bin/cat /etc/passwd
d:/cygwin/bin/cat: not found
\[\033]0;\w\007
\033[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\]
$ /cygdrive/d/cygwin/bin/cat /etc/passwd
/cygdrive/d/cygwin/bin/cat: not found
\[\033]0;\w\007
\033[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\]

But wait! When I try:
$ cat /etc/passwd
SYSTEM:*:18:544:,S-1-5-18::
Administrators:*:544:544:,S-1-5-32-544::
.
.
.
duane:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:11054:10513:duane,U-LUNARCORP\duane,S-1-5-21-
25853599
-59532045-941767090-1054:/cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1/duane:/bin/bash
\[\033]0;\w\007
\033[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\]
$

What is going on? It seems as if ash _doesn't_ like the _full_ path (or
one beginning with a /), but knows where to find cat and friends (ls,
pwd, ...)

Thanks,
Duane
