Subject: how to run a program from the bash console
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I am attempting to run a Windows program from the Bash console.  I have 
attempted modifying my path in the .bash_profile file in my home 
directory with the following line:

PATH=/cygdrive/c/'Program Files'/'<program folder>'/<program 
executable>:$PATH
export PATH

This does not appear to work.  Does anyone know how to do this?
