I use a similar scheme since the good old b20 days. Just not with the XXX name and not with a subshell. (I put the $PWD arg into a temp file in the cygwin.bat starter, which I pickup at .profile) And not for the Explorer (which I don't use), but for a TotalCmd button. To open some shell like bash, rxvt, ksh, 4nt in the current dir (optinally specified by some dir arg). A keyboard shortcut is also useful. And I also apply a lot of path unification then, to shorten the windows path (where I use subst) to the optimal cygwin path (where I have symlinks) .profile: case $PWD in /cygdrive/r/PERL* ) cd `echo $PWD | sed -e 's!/cygdrive/r/PERL!/usr/src/perl!'` ;; /cygdrive/r/gnu/cygwin* ) cd `echo $PWD | sed -e 's!/cygdrive/r/gnu/cygwin!/usr/src!'` ;; /cygdrive/r/gnu* ) cd `echo $PWD | sed -e 's!/cygdrive/r/gnu!/usr/src/gnu!'` ;; /cygdrive/r/lisp* ) cd `echo $PWD | sed -e 's!/cygdrive/r/lisp!/usr/src/lisp!'` ;; /cygdrive/p/CORMAN* ) cd `echo $PWD | sed -e 's!/cygdrive/p/CORMAN~1/CORMAN~1.5!/usr/src/lisp/corman!'` ;; /cygdrive/r/php* ) cd `echo $PWD | sed -e 's!/cygdrive/r/php!/usr/src/php!'` ;; /cygdrive/n/* ) cd `echo $PWD | sed -e 's!/cygdrive/n/!/!'` ;; /cygdrive/v/* ) cd `echo $PWD | sed -e 's!/cygdrive/v!/www!'` ;; /f/data/mp3/* ) cd `echo $PWD | sed -e 's!/f/data/mp3/!/music/!'` ;; esac -- Reini Urban http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/home/rurban/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
