Yes, I tried typing commands but nothing happens.  The .z* files are not 
executed either (I tried adding commands to them that create files and 
the files don't show up).  It also DOES work if I login as a user with 
admin priviledges.  As I said, this was all working fine before I 
upgraded cygwin yesterday, so it must be some minor change that came in 
with the upgrade.  Therefore I strongly suspect it is a cygwin problem.
