Hi Frodak and All,

I created the ~/.bash_profile file (it wasn't even there before!), and
tried sourcing ~/.bashrc from it.  It still doesn't work.  I don't think
these files are ever executed during my cygwin session.  I don't know
whether I use bash or not.  I simply installed it from my PC.  Is there
another type of configuration besides bash, where there is a different
file to modify to contain my aliases?  Please help if you can,


Thanks,

Pat//

~/.bashrc is only sourced by bash on non-login interactive shells
~/.bash_profile is only source by bash on login interactive shells

If you have your aliases in ~/.bashrc you need to add the following line
to
~/.bash_profile
Source ~/.bashrc

Further examples can be taken from the files located in /etc/skel.

Also look at the man bash page under INVOCATION.
