Hi,

Forgive the defensive addendum but I've no wish to be either flamed or
ignored when I've tried available pathways to solving this.

Situation:

.bashrc not working and yes my $home variable is correctly defined but I
put a copy of .bashrc into / anyway just in case.
The --login and -i switches are used.
I even used the --rcfile switch and pointed it directly to my .bashrc
file at which point cygwin just bombs out.

.bashrc file contains only the line

Alias ls='ls -al --color=auto'

I even made .bashrc executable using the command chmod +x (just in case)
but this changed none of the behaviour.   What am I missing.

Steve
